... Thanks Mark! Everybody always appreciates input! Feel free to post on the fsck-list even though you proberly didn't because of the license. But I think some might be interested to look at it. That brings up a good question though: Do we put on the FreeCD so called "freeware" (software that is free but only as in free beer ... not as in "freedom") ?

--- Begin Message ---Alex, I thought of an excellent piece of free software that could be put on the disc- or, if not the software, a link to the web site that distributes it. I have attached the relevant portion of their license below. It can be redistributed freely. The software is called "SwitcherCAD III" and is free for the download from Linear Technology Corp., a semiconductor company. The program is a full featured, spice-based, circuit simulator with GUI for Windoze. I have used it for years- it reliable, stable, and is frequently updated. It has an excellent help system. We don't have a lot of engineering students at Truman, but if there was enough interest, I might be able to prepare a demo and tutorial for one of the fsck meetings...
