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. AAAREAD.ME This file.
