The 1991 SUGCD
The 1991 SUGCD is right around the corner, bringing you the latest in UNIX
freeware via the latest hardware and software technology. It will contain
over 500 MB of useful text, source code, and executable programs, making it
an unparalleled archive of usable UNIX freeware.
The text section should be handy: Sun-Flash, Sun-Managers, and Sun-Spots,
just for starters. Totally cross-referenced for easy searching. Actually,
the whole disc (excluding compressed archives and other binary files) will
be covered by an inverted index.
The real bonanza, however, will be over in the program directories. Games,
languages, graphics, administration and programming tools, you name it.
Executable binaries for SunOS 4.1.1 on Sun-3's and Sun-4's, providing instant
gratification. With handy utilities to install desired packages on your hard
disk, etc.
Source code, too, archived and compressed to save space. This is UNIX; if
you can't get the sources, it isn't freeware. Strictly optional, though.
Leave it on the disc until you have a reason to look at it.
The disc will include the latest versions of just about everything useful
from comp.sources.{games,sun,unix}, the Sun-Spots archives, and all the
previous SUGtapes. We also combed the Internet, looking for nifty programs
to include.
The Bottom Line
Only $250 for SUG members. Pretty amazing for what you're getting, but it
gets even better. As a pre-publication special, we are taking orders at
$200 each between now and the end of the year. Just fill out the following
form and use it to make your order. Your disc will arrive in early 1991;
expect to be astonished...
