Is it possible to get Clipper and/or dBase source file libraries
via the nett?

I read in article 5284 (2272mdb@abcom.ATT.COM, 3 Jan 91) in
comp.databases that Rettig's Clipper library is now public
domain. The problem is that I can't reach bulletin boards
like Compuserve or Genie. Can anyone help me with an FTP
adress?

I'm a student so I can't afford to by one of the many libraries 
that do exist like ARTFUL.LIB ("Dynamics of Clipper", ISBN 1-55623-131-8),
NETLIB (Neil Weicher), <noname.lib> ("Programming in Clipper", 
ISBN 0-201-14583-9) etc..

There should also be some general interest conserning these questions.
Please reply to comp.databases or gunnar@imf.unit.no.
Help would be much velcomed.
