Sure, and I do not doubt the quality of the servers. But, with the time
needed for the first web page to come up, I already have the result of
the script on my screen (and I would still need to browse to the result
I want). The script simply serves a different purpose: instant (well...)
access to a context known beforehand rather than step by step browsing
(technically speaking: an "ftp ls" is incomparably faster than
displaying and responding to a sequence of web pages - primarily for me,
but also for the server).
Talking about time: writing the initial script took less than 10 minutes
and was fun - adding command-line arguments and options took some more
time and some less fun, but came later and at second thought. And, no, I
have no interest in verifying the good sync between servers (-
