AFAICT it is entirely backward compatible. It provides a couple of extensions but keeps the basic syntax unchanged. Here is its description: http://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/software/dico/manual/html_node/Autologin.html Great! > The library would be a great addition, making things like ftp simpler. I'd gladly port it to inetutils :) Sweet, but please see that all copyright is sorted out (if there is a need to do that).
