+# This library is no longer being maintained, and is included for backward
+# compatibility with Perl 4 programs which may require it.
+#
+# In particular, this should not be used as an example of modern Perl
+# programming techniques.
+#
+# Suggested alternative: Net::FTP

# This is a wrapper to the chat2.pl routines that make life easier
# to do ftp type work.
