	A suggestion: identify a program with its minimum hardware
requirements.  For example, I just finished cat-ing, uu-ing, and
downloading the oscilloscope program only to find that it did not run
on my machine because I don't have a VGA card.  If the program's posting
had clearly tagged the hardware requirements I would have saved a fair 
amount of time.
	This is not a flame, only a suggestion.  Thanks for listening.
