+WHAT IS LUKEMFTP?
+-----------------
+
+`lukemftp' is what many users affectionately call the enhanced ftp
+client in NetBSD (http://www.netbsd.org). The `lukem' comes from
+the account name of the NetBSD developer who wrote most of the
+enhancements: Luke Mewburn <lukem@netbsd.org>.
+
+This package is a `port' of the NetBSD ftp client to other systems.
+
+The enhancements over the standard ftp client in 4.4BSD (and
+derivatives) include:
+ * command-line editing within ftp
+ * command-line fetching of URLS, including support for:
+ - http proxies (c.f: $http_proxy, $ftp_proxy)
+ - authentication
+ * configurable prompt
+ * context sensitive command and filename completion
+ * dynamic progress bar
+ * feature negotiation extensions from RFC 2389
+ (c.f: `feat' and `remopts')
+ * extensions to ftp from the IETF ftpext working group
+ (c.f: `mlsd' and `mlst')
+ * IPv6 support (from the WIDE project)
+ * modification time preservation
+ * paging of local and remote files, and of directory listings
+ (c.f: `lpage', `page', `pdir')
+ * passive mode support, with fallback to active mode
+ * retrieval of filenames listed in a given file (c.f: `fget')
+ * `set option' override of ftp environment variables
+ * socks4/socks5 support
+ * TIS Firewall Toolkit gate ftp proxy support (c.f: `gate')
+ * transfer-rate throttling (c.f: `-T', `rate')
+ * uploading of files on the command line (c.f: `-u')
