There is now an archive for software written for or ported to the NeXT
computer on umd5.umd.edu.  The purpose of the archive is to facilitate the
exchange of NeXT software and to reduce the number of times that the wheel
must be reinvented.

Access to the archive is via annonymous ftp to umd5.umd.edu (128.8.10.5).
The archive is in the NeXT directory. 

The archive is currently empty.

What I'd like to see in the archive are:

1)	Information --

		Known bugs, fixes, work-arounds, suggestions.
		Pointers to other archives.

2)	Executables -- 

		Programs (and objects!)  written explicitly for the NeXT,
		and UNIX programs that have been ported (e.g., Kermit, TeX).
		Executables will only be made available if source is also
		made available somehow (could be from another archive).

3)	Source --

		When space permits and the sources are not available from
		another archive.  

If you have something that you would like to see in the archive, send me
(feldman@umd5.umd.edu) mail.  If you find something useful, chances are
that others will find it useful, too.
