I can. Automatic downloading is listed under ``current design aims'',
which is not quite like ``currently implemented features''. It's kinda
hard to achieve FTP/HTTP under DOS anyway. We may solve this problem
by bundling zippo with windows port of wget, which would get files for
zippo, but don't hold your breath. Yet.
