  24. Sometimes it's full too, though.  There's also oak.oakland.edu that has
  25. a few programs and also mirrors simtel20.  If you really want to get
  26. into ftp sites, I suggest you read newsgroups comp.archives.msdos.announce
  27. and the .d group that goes with it.  If you're looking for a specific
  28. program, then check out comp.binaries.ibm.pc.wanted.
