     I know the ability to ftp is great but when there are tons of ftp
lists in all sorts of different formats and none of them being
complete and up to date.  So how about someone out there with a kind
heart & access to resources to set up a server of some sort that would
accept ftp site info in an agreed upon format and automatically
process it and post it to a certain news group every so often?  Or has
this been done already?  I read somewhere that comp.archives was
supposedly doing something like this, if so, can someone tell me
exactly how it's set up?  Thanks.
