The NetReadFixup() function will be called if it exists and thus allows you to

-just such a function to handle Windows 95 ftp. For whatever reason, Windows
-95's ftp dumps four blank lines at the end of a transfer, and so it is
-desirable to automate their removal. Here's some code taken from <netrw.vim>
