I should have added that if you're on windows you should install cygwin
(As I am, and do). A better set of web development tools you will not
find. They're a bit of a handlful to learn but will pay dividends. Oh
and for Linux and Unix people most come as standard. Just wget and the
above make my life a joy (OK.. a slight exagerration, that would be
sendmail and qpopper)
