Well, I got mine. It'll take me while to look what all is on it. The documentation with it says that it has all the NeXT modified GNU software, which if true is a pleasant suprise. Mark Adler madler@cco.caltech.edu

One of my favorites is "DarkForest", in the /Utilities directory. It shows that a program can be very useful, and entertaining at the same time. The README file only tells you about the useful part. When you run the code, though, there are lots of cute surprises. Is this at the archives yet? It ought to be! Here's the README: By: Garth Snyder garth_snyder@next.com DarkForest allows you to easily view the sizes of entire directory structures. You can also delete and compress files and directories from within the application, making disk usage reduction painless. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .Dr. Robert F.

Also be sure to check out Packager...a handy way to build Installer packages...and Touch, a nifty ftp front end. If anyone is curious about seeing what's on the list, I edited the ls-lR listing from 1M down to 300k so that you can see what's on the disk without going old in the process. I'm happy to e-mail it to any interested parties. It ought to show up on sonata eventually, too. (What did I edit out? .lproj, .app, .nib, and help directories; basically stuff that isn't particularly interesting, and READMEs, which are everywhere.) Later, -Don Yacktman alaska.et.byu.edu
