It's just simple if you can tag a file and download it from the BBS, if
you happen to be surfing a BBS.

All the files on my board are also available via www and ftp but you'd
have to go find them. Not too hard for me since I know the directory
layout but it could be a major PITA for someone else to find a particular
file in one of the directories on the ftp server.. ;)

Put your two cents in any time, the echoes would be no fun at all
otherwise.. :) sexyz is a win32 console app, I don't know if that
would work well or at all from a DOS based board, I don't have one
anymore to try it out..
