(...) Dave, I'm pretty sure you can't do it without an external program. If you have FTP access to the file, you can use the command-line ftp program included with most msdos versions, otherwise you will need a non-dos program, I would recommend GNU (...)

Hi All: I know next to zilch about programming, even in DOS, so this question is asked in ignorance and good faith.

(...) Often, I'm told, birthdays and anniversaries are the source of a lot of lotto-style picks. If so, numbers 1-12 are very common, and 13-31 are more common. 32-40, not being easy date numbers, are thus more rare. (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
