I totally agree with this reason for using Fetch_NS. Mind you, I think there are more than one version of it floating around; the one I have says it's version 2.10, but I can't remember who wrote this. It's certainly very different from the original version. A note in the !Run file says, "This is a seriously modified version of John Williams' Fetch_NS." > FWIW I always look at the development site to see what has changed.

I've looked for this, but have never found it, not that it would make a whole lot of sense to me, perhaps! > ** on a bad day the fetch works but the fetcher stops saying it can't > find the file it has just down loaded.
