Now I need to know where to obtain software that REALLY runs under this (SCO Xenix V rev 2.1.3) OS. As I just spent several thousand dollars, I cannot afford to buy too many (Any, at this point) commercial packages, so I am looking for either PD (preferred) or Shareware, or other sources. Note further that currently I have no other high level language compiler besides 'C', ( I have the development environment) although I also have Xlisp 1.6 running. I do have ARC available for unarcing of files. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | I am looking specifically for the following: | | | | An Xmodem File Transfer program that works under cu, | | or as a stand alone. In fact any good file transfer | | or communication program besides Kermit. | | | | | | SNOBOL [or spitbol] (Does anyone still use this?) | | (I REALLY am interested in obtaining this.) | | | | Hack (Of course) | | | | Larn (Why not?) | | | | Windowing utilities (or 'C' source code for window functions) | | | | The latest Emacs | | | | fortune | | | | ANY other Languages or compilers or interpreters etc. | | (Prolog, Forth, Pascal, Modula2, yes, even Basic et al etc.) | | | | News and a better (Real) Mail | | | | Database Utilities | | | | Anything to deal with the EGA capability. | | | | ANY (yes, ANY) "Useful" utilities or fun (amusing) games | | (Utilities which will make my life easier while working in XENIX) | | | | I am also interested in using my computer as a GM (or DM) aid | | while role-playing, so programs dealing with this function would | | would also be greatly appreciated. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for any (and I do mean any) aid you can lend me in this quest for software. Even though I might not need it now, or know that I what it, please tell me about any software you know how to obtain,that you think I might be interested, and that I could get for my own. Hacking, it's not a job, it's an adventure, John P.S. if possible please use the 1st set of addresses below. Thanks!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |USMail: Xerox Corp. 800 Phillips Rd. W129/38B Webster, NY 14580 | |GV/PUP: Luce.Wbst | |NS : John R.
