NETBASic and NETBAS using scripts

• Martin Goebbel's NETBAS Interpreter to use a "BASIC-like" language for scripts which can do all sorts of things once a Net connection is established.
  It's built on the "WaterlooTCP" (WATTCP) setup thus it works with packet drivers as well for dial-up connections (e.g., LSppp) as for Ethernet interface cards (NICs).
• A fetch-mail script, AUTOPOP.NBS for NETBAS from Revobild allows for highly flexible and telco-fee saving dowloads from POP(3) mailboxes.
  Don't download spam - trash it at the server !
  Collect headers and some one or more lines of stored mails with a first log-in, select those to download with a following log-on and delete the rest; works easiest with the ReRead mail reader but any other or even a file viewer like LIST could be adapted.
  A rather long text file with detailed descriptions is included in the archive but can it be accessed here directly.
  
• The GET-MAIL.NBS script to fetch mail from POP3 boxen has been the precursor to the automated version, and can be used both entirely "manual" or in batches.
  It's the right tool to inspect the mailbox contents and to throw out annoying items selectively.
  
• A similar send-mail script with full "authentication" routines is (yet) under development -
• NETWALK - a general purpose interface to NETBAS: play the Net like a piano from your keyboard: Dialogue with all sorts of servers, up/download files, debug/fine-tune log-ins with full capture.
  Quite a bit easier to use than TELNET; from Revobild.
