In response to Mr. Yangok at KAIST and others interested, there is an information retrieval system called DIRECT-NET that has information on software and hardware for IBM PC's and compatibles. DIRECT-NET also has several free software packages on-line, over 60 full-blown demonstration packages that are down-loadable, Manufacturer information, Bulletin board, mail, etc... I am not going to tell you how good DIRECT-NET is because I moonlight for them! You may call the toll-free hotline for more information. In California: 800-824-5526, Nationwide: 800-223-0822, Direct: 805-495-0901 If you have your own Comm. Package, (or a standard term. type such as vt52), you can call and ask for a free On-line session. To be fair, there are others on the market. You may want to try "Ocean Data Systems" or the "Product Finder".
