rem *** DESCRIPTION:
rem ***   This batch program automates the 
rem ***   process of logging on the the
rem ***   Yahoo Geocities ftp server for the
rem ***   website at
rem ***   http://www.geocities.com/matth3wbishop
rem ***   The ftp server at yahoo has a time-out of
rem ***   300 seconds which is the reason for this
rem ***   script. This script may not work with winNT
rem ***   because the ftp program automatically exits
rem ***   after executing commands in a script file
rem ***   (The -s: switch)
rem ***   Add the -a switch when behind a firewall
rem ***   
rem *** AUTHOR: 
rem ***   m.j.bishop (matth3wbishop@yahoo.com)
rem *** TESTING:
rem ***   WinMe  works
rem ***   Win95  automatically logs off (i.e. doesn't work)
rem ***          after the script has finished
rem ***    Note: Win95 ftp program doesn't appear to have
rem ***          the '-a' switch for 'passive' mode transfers
rem ***   Win98  Seems to work
rem ***   WinNT  Same as 95 (Doesnt work)
rem ***  These problems should be solvable by getting
rem ***  a better ftp program
