- There is an emacs program called uEmacs under
- mac/util/editor/microemacs3.10a.sit.hqx at mac.archive.umich.edu.
-
- There is an excellent e-mail program called Eudora under
- info-mac/comm/eudora-122.hqx at sumex-aim.stanford.edu
-
- There is a Macintosh news reader which I have not tried called NewsWatcher at
- info-mac/comm/news-watcher-13d6.hqx at sumex-aim.stanford.edu
-
- Various moria, nethack, and startrek games can be found in the
- mac/game/adventure directory at mac.archive.umich.edu.
-
- The best thing a new Mac user can do is check out what is available at sumex
- and umich. Read the indexes for the different directories, these sites have
- a lot to offer.
-
- I hope I helped,
