That sounds cool. It may still be tricky to call from within shell
scripts, but I guess I can figure out a way to do it.

As a short-term solution, I could offer a few kb of my homepage (I keep
some cygwin ports of scientific software there). This is only http, but
with 49k I wouldn't care. On the long run, you might ask the guys at
ftp.franken.de (Michael Hirmke, mh AT mike DOT franken DOT de) for a homestead.

Thanks
