GetURL is a program for copying files from WWW sites, FTP sites, News Servers, Gopher sites, or local computer to your local OS/2 computer. GetURL may be used in conjunction with REXX to automate a number of Internet search and retrieval applications.

GetURL retrieves these files as type www/source, meaning that all text is retrieved as HTML, and binaries (like pictures) are retrieved as-is. Suggestions for enhancements to this behaviour are encouraged. Demonstration REXX Programs are included as illustration.
