Archie!
The Internet provides thousands of free packages contributed by mostly
universities and research facilities. There is something for everyone!
The Archie servers provide a means by which you can locate what is out
there. I like dorm.rutgers.edu (128.6.18.15) for archie. Telnet to
it and login as "archie". Do "whatis X" to search for X, for example
"whatis kermit". Do "prog X" to locate ftp sites once you know program
name, or a portion thereof, for example "prog superprogram.1.2.tar.Z".
Me? I like AI tools. Can't get a 486 to think, but sure beats paper
"post-its"!
