fdos package needed

fdos, and ncftp

As for NcFTP -- can a mere newbie user request a new package? I'm used to NcFTP, which I've used on Panix (Sun) and on my home machine under OS/2. Sure, I could compile it myself, but I'm afraid that as soon as I do, a package would be released and I'd have a hard time upgrading. :-)
