Dear All, A very good, nearly free repository on CD/DVD for computer science students (but also with lots of general utilities) is the BURKS CD produced by Brighton University.
You can order a copy here: http://burks.brighton.ac.uk/ You can see the variety of software available at http://burks.brighton.ac.uk/burks/index.htm under the Software link, e.g., the free Microsoft DOC viewer is available on this CD. It could save much downloading... Regards, Anton Dil Frederick Noronha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My friends have fat pipes to the Internet.
