[net.micro.atari16] Public domain software

(Flames to /dev/null)

Could someone give me pointers to free Atari ST software available via
FTP?  I'm choosing between the 1040ST and Amiga, and what could clinch
it for the ST is availability and accessibility of free software
(cheapskate, me?  of course!).  The main thrust of my search is
towards word processors, terminal programs, Unix shell emulators,
languages, and of course sound/graphics programs that can take the ST
to the limit.  Also, any possible multitasking utilities.

Thanx in advance for any replies.

I only recently purchased an Atari 1040ST, and would appreciate any pointers 
which anyone could give me to archives of Public Domain Software for the ST.
(Especially any which I could access via FTP.)  I have also seen many posts on
net.micro.atari16 which refer to other posts which I have not seen.  If there 
are any 1040ST related mailing lists to which I could subscribe, please sign
me up.

Thanks very much in advance.
