I believe Mark Zimmermann's Free Text Browser will fit the bill.  I have
never used it myself, though I have briefly used a stripped down UNIX
version.  According to my handout, availability (in BinHex format)
is as follows:

Anonymous FTP:

	sumex-aim.stanford.edu (36.44.0.6)
	as /info-mac/card/free-text-101.hqx

MSG/TELL on BITNET:

	MACSERVE at PUCC
        tell MACSERVE at IRLEARN get card/free-text-101.hqx

MAIL TO FILESERV@IRLEARN.EARN

	with first line of body:
	GET 9005409 00000002

Remove mail headers, run BinHex and Stuffit.


If in doubt, try contacting Knut Hofland at ICAME -
