LisaFetch 0.1 (test): web text files straight onto the Lisa

LisaFetch is a small Lisa Office System tool that downloads a plain text file from the web and saves it on the Lisa as a Workshop .TEXT file, ready for the Editor or the Pascal compiler. No disk images and no serial transfer program: press G, type the address (a raw GitHub file works well), give it a name, and it's on the Lisa.

Chris Rupnik asked for it on Facebook, under the ESPFuji announcement on 30 October: he wanted an easy way to get source text files onto a Lisa. LisaFetch was started that day.

It works through an RS-232 FujiNet on Serial B, a LisaFPGA with LisaNet, or an ESProFile running ESPFuji, and the top line says which one it found. Today it passed on my Lisa 2/10 through the ESPFuji ESProFile: a 42-line Pascal exec file arrived in seconds. It asks before replacing a file, and only replaces it once the new copy has arrived whole. Files can be up to 32 KB through ESPFuji; through a serial FujiNet there's no fixed limit. Plain text only.

Test build, free: https://github.com/GyroPilot/Apple-LisaFetch (pre-release v0.1-test). Reports welcome, good or bad.
Using my LISA for writing blogs and other work projects, and for fun and games at home.
