Now on the file-server: LAB TOPIC-1, having to do with recommendations
for the ideal language and literature laboratory.

Note the query from Roy Flannagan, who asks some broader questions.
Let's continue to talk about this.

[Information follows about an archive of public-domain software.]


For anyone who doesn't know about wuarchive, here is a bit of propaganda:

Wuarchive.wustl.edu contains a large archive of Public Domain software. This
service, which is offered at no cost by the Office of the Network Coordinator,
is available to any interested party. You may freely mount the archives on
your system via the Network File System (NFS) or access it via Anonymous FTP.

Currently the archive contains over 390 Megabytes of software for Unix systems,
Macintosh and IBM PC compatible computers; there are also hundreds of documents
detailing various standards used throughout the Internet, bug fixes for various
operating systems, all of the packages offered by the GNU project and complete
source to the X11 windowing system.

of your system supports NFS you may mount the archives by using a command
similar to the one below:

# mount wuarchive:/archive /archive

To access the archives via FTP, the username is 'anonymous' and the password
is 'guest'.
