Here is an updated list of
the Windows programs at my unofficial archive, clvax1.cl.msu.edu
(35.8.2.1).
One of these programs is a new version of WinVN, my Usenet news reader.
This is possibly the largest Windows program whose source has been
placed in the public domain.
Enjoy. Mark Riordan riordanmr@clvax1.cl.msu.edu

This file lists the Microsoft Windows-related freeware and shareware available
via anonymous FTP from clvax1.cl.msu.edu (35.8.2.1).
Not all of these programs are the most recent versions. I would appreciate
any contributions or updates to the library.
Authors' names are in brackets. I have tried to identify the programs
for which payment is required (shareware), but I may have missed a few.
Some of these programs aren't very worthwhile, but I've decided to
include just about everything I have in this collection, good or bad.

There are several MS-DOS ARC-type programs online; you'll need these
or similar programs to unpack the archives:
ARC.EXE
LHARC.EXE

PKUNZIP.EXE
PKZIP.EXE
Sorry these programs aren't in their own directory; Wollongong's
support of anonymous FTP precludes the use of subdirectories.
