An extract from chyde.uwasa.fi advice: 14. ***** Q: I am interested to know if there exists a program for such and such purpose. Would you point me in the right direction. (This question also often occurs in the news postings.) A1: Most often the best answer is to look through file lists. We have several such lists which should together have quite a good coverage of the PD programs in circulation. These lists are /pc/INDEX, /pc/pd2/0dir-pd2, /pc/ts/0dir-ts (lists for our site, chyde.uwasa.fi), /pc/pd2/files-mm.zip (a good English speaking Finnish BBS), and /pc/pd2/simibm.zip (Simtel20 list). A2: How to find files on chyde.uwasa.fi: If you are looking for a particular program at chyde.uwasa.fi you should always start by getting the following three files: /pc/INDEX /pc/pd2/0dir-pd2 /pc/ts/0dir-ts And for seeing what is new in the /pc/pd2 and /pc/ts directories, get /pc/pd2/0news-pd2 /pc/ts/0news-ts A3: To save you the trouble of downloading all of those files if all you want is to search for one or two programs, you can use an index server maintained by Raymond Chen (rjc@math.princeton.edu). To obtain instructions, send email with any subject and containing the single word "help" to the above address. ... much deleted ... -------------------- end prerecorded message -----------------------

Good for capturing output of programs which do not give a print to disk option. You can call my BBS setup for the distribution of LPTx. It has a USR HST to answer at 1200, 2400, and 9600 baud. You can call and download LPTx v7.00. BBS : 619-549-3927. Beta Version 8.00 is also available. -- Mark DiVecchio, Silogic Systems, 619-549-9841 K3FWT ----- 9888 Carroll Center Road, Suite 113, San Diego, CA 92126 ----- markd@silogic.uucp BBS 619-549-3927 ...!ucsd!celit!silogic!markd celit!silogic!markd@ucsd.edu
