Geturl is a new freely available network utility for retrieving files
from the Web by HTTP and FTP, the two most widely used Internet
protocols, non-interactively, thus enabling work in the background,
after having logged off.

The recursive retrieval of HTML pages is supported (you can use Geturl
to make mirrors of home pages, traversing the web -- although Geturl
is not a WWW robot).

Geturl works exceedingly well on slow or unstable connections, keeping
getting the document, until it is fully retrieved. Regetting articles
from where it left off, as well as globbing is available when
retrieving via FTP.  Proxy servers are supported.

The basic usage is very simple, geturl <url-name>, on the
command-line. Experienced users can change the behaviour of the
program either through command-line options, or via its initialization
file .geturlrc. For more details, look at the manual (which is
included in the distribution).

Geturl works under almost all modern Unix variants and, unlike many
other similar utilities, is written entirely in C, thus requiring no
additional software (like perl or awk). Because Geturl uses the GNU
Autoconf, it is easily built on and ported to other Unixes.

The program runs and is being regularly tested on the most popular
Unix variants, like Solaris 2.5, OSF/1, SunOS 4.x, AIX, HPUX, Ultrix
and Linux.
