This is part of a series of old-school BASH commands that I picked up a long time ago. The problem was none of those commands worked. The server they connected to had been moved, or changed the format of their pages. So I re-wrote a couple of my favorites, and saved them here for anyone to use. As of today, all of these commands work.
