Sorry this has taken so long, and a big thank-you to the people who responded. Most of this list has been seen in this group anyway, but for those of you who missed it... Here is the results of my search for cheap/free PC shells: Name Size FTP address Notes infer.Z 11K uunet.uu.net In comp.sources.unix/volume3 Apparently its pretty basic. TRC 130K uunet.uu.net In comp.sources.unix/volume3/trc Its broken into 9 parts. BELIEF 200K hustat.harvard.edu (128.103.28.101) beligica.stat.washington.edu (128.95.17.57) In directory pub I couldn't connect to hustat, but beligica works fine. Still a prototype, but suupport should be available. Experto 238K garbo.uwasa.f In directory /pc/science I couldn't connect to this server. CLIPS Available though NASA, free to government agencies, ph $187 to educational instutitions and $312 to others ph 542-3265 ES } ??? BIX bb not FTPable so far as I know. (or) MIKE} ???
