    Hmmm, how long is that piece of string?
    
    Depends entirely on what you're after! One thing you may notice though
    is that when doing searches in SHAREWARE etc the same sites appear
    quite frequently! One of these is the SUNSITE's, try src.doc.ic.ac.uk,
    which is the Imperial College in London. Anon access and they have TONS
    of stuff, divided into sub-directories, pull back the index to have a
    look, get into the PACKAGES directory.
    
    Alen.
    
    P.S. FTP on windows or vax should be basically the same, you don't
    always have to use the GUI's!
