I've now been told it's here already, at least for MS-DOS, on our file
server innergate.bnr.co.uk (47.125.128.2).  That's the name and internet
address on CORWAN; on the STLnet access it as Hedera.

The Windows stuff is in /ms-dos/BNR and includes Word 2a (European version),
Excel 4.0, Powerpoint 3.0, Windows 3.1 and DOS 5.0.   Each is in a separate
sub-directory, stored as self-extracting archives.  A readme.txt file tells
you how to install them.  Get them by FTP - remember to set  TYPE IMAGE
before you transfer!

I understand that the Mac versions are available on one of the Mac file servers.
