Should have gone to a different university. :-)

I thought you said you could get the file if I put it on FTP...

Anyway, if I say you can get a file on WWW, it's actually no more
expensive than getting the same file on FTP (especially since people
seem to have a certain amount of trouble connecting to ftp.nvg.unit.no
whereas www.comlab.ox.ac.uk should be no problem).

If the file had been uuencoded you could have said

telnet www.comlab.ox.ac.uk 80 > the_file
GET /oucl/users/ian.collier/whatever_file

and that would have been that...

I also seem to remember that there's a WWW-by-mail server somewhere.
