HELLO, Don:

 There are several available via anonymous ftp from Simtel (26.2.0.74). One
of the programs is:

 PD1:<MSDOS.SQ-USQ>COMP430D.ZIP

Do an "ls" on PD1:<MSDOS.SQ-USQ> to discover several others.

 ANYONE wanting information on ALL the stuff available from SIMTEL (the
DOS-archive-to-end-all-DOS-archives) you just GOTTA get:

 PD1:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>SIMIBM.ARC

This file will BLOW YOUR SOX OFF! You will wonder why you waited so long
to fetch it. It will tell you about ALL the DOS files and programs and 
information that you ALWAYS wanted, and you will wonder how the DICKENS 
you EVER lived without it for THIS long...No joke.

	Peace,
        -bd-
