- I have a fairly extensive list of software here, but I'm mainly only
- keeping track of the following info for each program (example):
-
- Utilities that work Description
- ------------------- -----------
- Disinfectant 3.6 Excellent Macintosh Virus Scanner - FW
- ftp://ftp.ou.edu/mirrors/info-mac/_Anti-Virus/disinfectant-36.hqx
-
- MacDOS 3.0 DOS Prompt for Mac <g> - SW $40
- ftp://ftp.ou.edu/mirrors/info-mac/_Disk_%26_File/mac-dos-30.hqx
-
- Tex-Edit 2.7.2 Text Editor - SW $5

- <etc.>
-
- I think I have about 20 apps and about 35 games with this kind of info,
- though I'm missing the FTP sites and precise filenames for some of them,
- and the last time I tested some of these may be as far back as the early
- 1.99Q bleeding-edge releases (I don't have the beta yet).
-
- Anyway - I submitted Glypha III and Shatterball to your web site a
- long time ago, but I have so much info now that I don't want to type
- them all in one at a time into a form. :-)
-
- How can we deal with this? Could I mail you the list and have you do
- the work? <grin>
