I have two questions: 1. Two companies called Young Minds, Inc. and Architectural Synthesis Inc., have announced they will be porting their software products to the CD ROM. Young Minds produces the GNU Suite, a collection of public domain s/w as well as Net News, a collection of seven years of Usenet messages. Does anyone know how to get in touch with Young Minds, and the others mentioned in the article? 2. I am a heavy user of Ziff Davis' Computer Library. Does anyone know offhand whether this will be usable from the SunOS environment with this setup, or will I have to use DOSWindows to access it like I am today. Email replies to me, I'll post a summary if warranted. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Chris Wraight TEL: 617-577-8500 Lotus Development Corp. {uunet,attmail}!lotus!cwraight 55 Cambridge Pkwy, Cambridge, MA 02142
