[comp.windows.ms] ftp list for windows?

hp0p+@andrew.cmu.edu (Hokkun Pang) (01/18/91)

is there any *big* ftp sites for windows? It seems to me that most of the ftp
sites I known carry far less than an average BBS.

There is a general ftp list with software for all kinds of machines 
and operating systems.  Allthought this list is not always up-to-date 
(cica doesn't show windows progs), but I find it quite usefull.  
Here's how to get it:
1)	FTP it from pilot.njin.net [128.6.7.38] (anonymous) file ftp.list
2)	Distributed via newsgroups comp.sources.wanted and comp.misc

My findings are that if you want windows 3.0 programs the best and 
only place is cica.cica.indiana.edu in the pub/pc/win3 directory.

Good luck.

Try clvax1.cl.msu.edu

I don't know if there is much or any Win3 -Software, but I got a
list that says so.
