Nisus has a couple of really neat word processors for free (as in beer*). Nisus Compact seems neat, and is really tiny. Good for powerbooks! MacOS 9's networking is said to have some trouble with Nisus Writer 4.something, but it's great in MacOS 7 & 8. In return for the software, you'll get a Nisus newsletter about once a month. It's *well* worth it. http://www.nisus.com/ I'd also suggest getting BBedit Lite (sic) from Barebones software-- it's a small text editor with a great search command- multiple files and regular expressions. It opens those files that are too big for Simpletext, too. Free as in beer. http://www.barebones.com/ There are a couple of neat statistics packages for the Mac too. MacAnova is a statistics package that I haven't used much. http://www.stat.umn.edu/macanova/macanova.home.html It looks pretty neat, but I'm smitten with XLispStat: http://www.stat.uiowa.edu/~luke/xls/xlsinfo/xlsinfo.html It has a version that'll run on Mac Classics! I've done real work with this package. I can't find the license right now, but I think it's free (as in speech**). The guy who developed it is big in the Bayesian statistics field, and it's got some Bayesian capabilities (for those into that!:) MacPerl. Probably the most used scripting language around. http://www.macperl.com/ Free as in speech. Those are the main free programs I use-- well, there's Cyberdog and most of the other internet applications too. MacSSH. I don't use VNC, but it's free. Microsoft Office. One of the most irritating things I've used-- It kept doing screwy things with my thesis-- wrapping the old text around inserted paragraphs (and the dancing paperclip) pushed me into using LaTex on SunOS. Not free (as in Chris Tresco***). * A standard phrase, meaning you can download it and use it. ** "free (as in speech)" refers to software you can modify and redistribute, like FreeBSD. *** http://interviews.slashdot.org/interviews/02/10/04/144217.shtml (I don't think he should have gotten time, but he did do wrong) -- Dana [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
