As a new OS/2 user, I am desperately seeking more "stuff" to run under OS/2, preferrably even under Presentation Mgr. If anyone can point me to a good source for such programs, please let me know. I prefer to use my PC and modem to download from BBS's. I do not have the ability to ftp stuff yet. Thanks. -- +=====================+========================+=============================+ | Finn Markmanrud | finn@mojo.nec.com | "It can't happen here." | | (508) 264 8668 | Boxboro, MA | F.Z. | +=====================+========================+=============================+

The University of Saskatchewan Opus (mine) allows first time callers to download the files. Some of the others may require "authentication" before people are allowed file downloading privileges. These systems all talk 2400 baud and lower, and some also handle 9600 baud. They will accept fidonet "File Requests" if you have a "point kit" that generates those requests. (An OS/2 version of the point kit is available from these systems, but it ain't that easy to set up for a novice).

The sysops can be reached via internet mail. For example, to reach my BBS, you can send mail to "SYSOP@f43.n140.z1.fidonet.org" or "Kevin.Lowey@F43.N140.Z1.Fidonet.Org". The sysops would be glad to provide information on available files. I'll also post much of my collection to Usenet once comp.binaries.os2 is created. - Kevin Lowey (1:140/43, LOWEY@SASK.USASK.CA)
