I think this is a neat idea, and could be one of the more constructive uses of
this group, especially with the death of local dealers (at least for us USA
folks).  What I was wondering, though, was if you could post a short
description of what the program does and why you think it is so useful, (along
with any ordering information you might have), instead of just listing
titles.  Some of the programs listed above I've heard of and agree that they
are quite useful, while others I've never heard of before.  Since it looks
like I'm going to be buying my ST stuff by mail order from now on, this
information would be invaluable to me (and I suspect, quite a few other
people).

So what do the rest of you think?  Would this kind of information be useful?
Is posting it an appropriate use of this group?
