Hi Shanko,

Oh, true.  The line immediately below that should be modified
in the same way, I guess.

I must have run with:
       ruby 1.8.0 (2003-05-15) [i386-mswin32]

Most later versions of Ruby require to_i before comparison of
 Time and Fixnum objects.

Thanks for the 'patch'.

I said that it looked like Perl ...
.... I think it looks more like a Makefile :-#

ruby ftp_snap.rb   # doesn't look as bad, tho'.
