Thanks for that bit.  Given that I'm using fetch under 4.1-stable, I would 
think that neither situation applies.

I've also tried using lynx but it munges the file.  It wraps.  I also tried 
lynx --dont_wrap_pre.  Still wraps.

I've found that wget seems to work best:

wget --user-agent=Lynx -O Makefile 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/www/mnoGo
Search-current/Makefile?rev=HEAD

Not the ideal situation.  fetch *should* work.  Surely fetch doesn't claim 
to be gzip compatible.
