It comes from the European UNIX Competency Circle, so it may not have made it to the whole of New World yet. Makes a change for us to get something before you do :-) Here's some information from the disc itself: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This CD of UNIX(tm) software is being distributed worldwide by local offices of Digital from an initial production of approximately 10,000 copies. It is not a corporate product but a project of local initiative, and it is not sold for profit, so you can't order it through Digital's product channels. (See README.1ST.) How can you get a copy of the disk? Ask a local Digital support person or sales representative and tell them you're interested in the "European freeware CD". I don't know exactly where the disk will be available, so don't bother to write me to ask. Ask someone local to you; refer them to me for further information if you wish. ___Pete Kaiser freeware@uniriv.vbo.dec.com ________________ UNIX is a trademark of UNIX System Laboratories, Inc. ULTRIX is a trademark of Digital Equipment Corporation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There's a great miscellany of stuff on it, from Chinese xterm through multimedia demos to a translation of the Magna Carta. Too much to list here. It might be nice if Digital made the inventory file available by anonymous FTP. Martyn Johnson maj@cl.cam.ac.uk University of Cambridge Computer Lab Cambridge UK
