	E-mail responses to this posting of mine highlight my problem
in locating TRUE Public Domain and FREEWARE (NOT SHAREWARE -- I say again:
NOT SHAREWARE) archives. I am now receiving, via E-mail, things like a complete
listing of ALL FTP SITES ON THE INTERNET. I appreciate your attempt to
help, but, Friends, I already know of the Infinity of Internet ftp sites!
I know and love: SIMTEL, CHYDE, GRAPE, WUPD, etc., etc., etc.
	The problem, as I stated in my original posting, is that one must wade
thru a veritable MOUNTAIN of software titles to discover a PD or FREEWARE
title of true usefulness. Surely a savvy archive manager has already recog-
nized the value and usefulness of GOOD, TRUE PD and FREE stuff in the DOS 
arena, and has consequently established an area in her archive as a repository
of NOTHING but FREE stuff. Right? Where at IS it? 

	THAT's the question.
