 GOGET
 
      Goget is a file and message butler that can be used to poll for files
     or mail, post messages, or send files either from the commandline or
     in a batchfile.  So how is GOGET different from the other robots?
     Goget supports Fido (*.msg), Hudson, and Squish style messages bases.
     I had used many of the others but always found I need at least two to
     handle both netmail and echomail, hence GOGET.
