[comp.protocols.appletalk] NCSA/BYU Telnet v2.3.2 available with ftp client "mget"

NCSA/BYU Telnet v2.3.2 is now available on "zaphod.ncsa.uiuc" (128.174.20.50)
in the "NCSA_Telnet/contributions" directory with the following improvements:

1)  The FTP client now supports the "mget" function, and we've tested it on
    Suns, MicroVaxen (Unix), Vax VMS (CMU & Multinet).  Needs testing between
    Macs, and doesn't handle directories properly yet.
2)  FTP (client and server) filenames that include wildcards now work properly,
    well, better anyway.
3)  FTP (client and server) help now includes the newly added "ACCT" command.
4)  Fixed the source so that it won't crash on the Portable, but we don't
    have a Portable to test it on :)
5)  Fixed a problem starting sessions from application documents:  used to be
    that if you clicked on a document that initiated an "FTP" session then
    clicked on a document to begin a "Telnet" session you got another "FTP"
    session.

FTP client "mput" coming soon!
Thanks to those who reported these problems.
