Any idea why this server replies with "ERROR 404: Not found" when I 
try to fetch ls.exe.gz with Wget, but all's well if I do it with 
Netscape?  Very annoying.

No, LFN support seems to be irrelevant (I get ENOENT on Windows even if I 
set LFN=n).  It is some difference between the DOS and Windows filesystem 
code.
