[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Software referencing Service?

wasnsr@nmt.edu (T.O.R.S.O.) (06/06/91)

	Does anybody out there now of an electronic or telephone service that, when given the type of job, or work needed to be done, will suggest a list of software packages for the pc that can help or do the suggested work.  For example, if I needed a software package to help me with some calculations concerning thermodynamics or some other engineering work, this service would provide me with a list of packages, prices, publisher, etc.. that might help me.

	If anybody has any information, I would be greatly appreciative!
