I dug out the source code and put a small HTML wrapper around it to explain it.
This version of the code is the last version, dating back to October 1988. It includes buffering blocks in RAM to avoid the performance problem with writing each 128 byte block to disk, and two different ways to cheat and abort a perfectly good transfer to avoid getting charged.
38 years later I'm proud of the cleverness, but not proud of the cheating. ;-)
