- I believe Mark Zimmermann's Free Text Browser will fit the bill. I have
- never used it myself, though I have briefly used a stripped down UNIX
- version. According to my handout, availability (in BinHex format)
- is as follows:
-
- Anonymous FTP:
-
- sumex-aim.stanford.edu (36.44.0.6)
- as /info-mac/card/free-text-101.hqx
-
- MSG/TELL on BITNET:
-
- MACSERVE at PUCC
- tell MACSERVE at IRLEARN get card/free-text-101.hqx
-
- MAIL TO FILESERV@IRLEARN.EARN
-
- with first line of body:
- GET 9005409 00000002
-
- Remove mail headers, run BinHex and Stuffit.
