My company is planning on distributing a disk of public domain
software for the NeXT within a couple of weeks.

The disk will contain such things as:

-NeXT-specific information, images, and sounds
-NeXT-specific programs (mostly from the net archives)
-Unix programs customized for the NeXT
    GNU stuff
    netnews (bnews, cnews, nntp, rn, etc.)
    utilities (compress 4.0, etc.)
    communications (Kermit, zmodem, etc.)
    programming utilities (perl, xlisp, etc.)
    games (NX_Void, etc.)
    random other things
-Unix programs not yet customized for the NeXT
    GNU stuff
    comp.sources.{unix, misc, games}
    random other things off the net

For most of the NeXT-specific stuff, the disk will include updated
installation scripts and instructions.

The disk will be available for around $100, and again, ought to be out
within a couple of weeks.  If you have any suggestions, please let me
know.

Thanks,
Jonathan Schwartz
