Well, we almost have it: There were only minimum changes needed to
support MacOS FTP (NetPresenz), VMS seems to work as well. Both of
them work for Lachlan Cranswick for more than a week now, so it's less
likely that I did something seriously wrong [1]. I'll check it in
during the weekend. After that, wget shall support UNIX ls output,
Microsoft IIS output, VMS, and MacOS. I'd say that this covers a
substantial portion of servers that are being used today. Naturally,
if someone points me to an Amiga, Atari, IBM VM-SP, DOS, or whatever
other server that is not completely broken, a parser for that server
will be implemented.

Thanks, I'll have a look what they have.

[1] Imagine I spend today more than twenty minutes trying to find why
scanf("%f %f %f",a,b,c), where a,b, and c were _integers_, gives
very suspective results. Bah. I should probably return my diploma.
