                 Version 1.22 of NFTP is available.

NFTP is a powerful interactive textmode ftp client for FreeBSD, Linux,
OS/2, Solaris (SPARC) and Windows 95/NT. 

Main features of NFTP are:

 remote directory view is fully scrollable with minimum keystrokes required;
 remote directory contents is cached during one session -- you'll never have 
      to wait for retrieving the same listing;
 marking files for download/upload: you don't need to type filenames at all;
 remote file viewing is simple and intelligent, and viewed files are
      cached as well;
 you can see client-server negotiation (even complete history during 
      all run);
 NFTP has batch progress indicator (you see how long the entire 
      operation will take if more than one file was selected to 
      transfer);
 file selection is simple and allows to view remote files while 
      marking others to transfer;
 you can skip files during transfer while continuing to
      download/upload the rest;
 you can mark files in different directories and then retrieve them
      all, keeping directory structure (therefore you can transfer
      entire directory trees);
 NFTP automatically downloads 00index.txt/FILES.BBS/etc. and shows
      file descriptions;
 NFTP reconnects to ftp server as needed -- you'll no longer worry
      about timeouts and dropped connections;
 you can sort remote directories by name, size, date/time;
 two-level hierarchical bookmark system is quick and efficient;
 configurable history keeps track of all sites you visit and allows
      to recall them instantly;
 comprehensive transfer logging;
 available on multiple platforms with the same user interface
      (FreeBSD, Linux, OS/2, Solaris, Windows 95/NT);
 comes in English, Bulgarian, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, 
      Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese,
      Norwegian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian versions.

Version 1.22 fixes bugs found in 1.21, adds "history" feature and several
small improvements.

raised to $25 on 1 September 1998. Windows version is free until 1
August 1998, Unix versions are free until 1 February 1999.  The fastest
