here you have a bit more controle and better dir naming (in the end the dir
is moved to d:/ as I am on an XP box with cygwin , Need windows for net...
soon moving to zenwalk

=============
#!/bin/bash
# npd.sh v0.2
# newspaper downloader
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
     echo 'Insert date DD MM YY ex: 31 12 99'
     exit
fi
    Dir="$3 $2 $1";
    D="$1-$2-$3";
    mkdir "$Dir";
    cd "$Dir";
    A=1;
        while [ $A -lt 25 ];
        do
            wget "http://www.almustaqbal.com/Issues/AsISPDF/$D/page$A.pdf";
            ((A+=1));
    mv "$dir" d:/news/;
