- 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"!
