I would suggest that you try "archie", the McGill School
of Computer Science archive server server. Archie keeps
track of the contents of over 600 archive sites, and
allows users to query for program names or the complete
contents of any archive site.

To use archie, telnet or rlogin to the machine
quiche.cs.mcgill.ca (132.206.2.3 or 132.206.51.1) and log
in as user "archie". There is no password. You will get a
login message, with status and help information.

As a sample, I asked archie about logo and here's a little
of what it told me:

And so on. I trust this points you in the right direction.
If not, feel free to log onto our machine and run archie.

There are a few references to X logos, etc. I assume these
are logos of the graphical kind so I cut most of these
out. 

Enjoy, and if you have any comments on archie, email to
"archie@cs.mcgill.ca"

".  .  . In particular, the US Supreme Court declared (tomatoes) to be
vegetables, and not fruit at all.  In an attempt to demonstrate that the
US is not the last bastion of total lunacy in the world, the EEC has just
declared that the carrot will henceforth (from Jan 1st 1991) be known as a
fruit rather than a vegetable.  Apparently this is because they make jam
out of them in Portugal ..."
