These may well be FAQ, but here goes - your help and patience is appreciated.

I am running DOS 2.11 on my rainbows, but I hear DOS 3.1 (at least) is available
What advantages are to be gained by an upgrade, and where would one go to get
a copy (are there actually vendors still in business supplying rainbow stuff?).

What are some other sources of stuff via anonymous FTP - drycas.club.cc.cmu.edu
is so far the only source I have found (Thank You!), but surely there are others
Is there rainbow stuff on SIMTEL20?  If so, where?
A particular interest is the sources to WUTIL32 - the document mentions that
WUTIL32S.ARC is available and has the source code, but where can I get it?

And what is this code-blue (some kind of IBM screen compatibility package?)
Where does one get this, and is it worth the trouble?

I know this sounds like a lot of gimmee, gimmee - but I cannot help but think
there must be other rainbow neophytes out there that would be helped by answers
to questions like these.   Thanks in advance for the help!!
