  I am pleased to announce two new services for Internet savvy
  Mac users brought to you by the friendly folks at the Alternative
  Collegiate Computer Association of New Mexico State University
  and your local FAQ maintainer.  First is a new software archive at 

           ftp://rever.nmsu.edu/pub/macfaq/

  This archive contains almost all freely distributable software
  mentioned in the FAQ lists for comp.sys.mac.misc, comp.sys.mac.system
  and comp.sys.mac.apps.  This includes not only important software no  
  Mac user should be without (StuffIt Expander, Disinfectant, etc.)
  but also much software that is quite difficult to find elsewhere
  (Cheap Color, Typing Tutor, MacPassword, MultiSpool, etc.)

  Every effort has been made to see that this archive is as accessible
  as possible.  It is available 24 hours a day via ftp, gopher and fsp.
  Load on the server should be light compared to info-mac or mac.archive 
  since this site does not attempt to be a general repository for all 
  software in the Mac universe but only a (relatively) few selected 
  files.  Finally almost all software stored here is compressed with 
  the latest version of StuffIt and stored in MacBinary format to
  minimize time spent downloading.



  The second development is perhaps even more interesting.
  At the same site, rever.nmsu.edu, is an HTML page intended
  to server as a single entry point to all Macintosh resources 
  on the Web.  Needless to say this project may take some time.  
  Nonetheless it is already quite full with software, information, 
  online journals, product reviews, full hypertext versions of 
  several Macintosh FAQ lists and much more.  Point your favorite 
  WEB browser at 

           http://rever.nmsu.edu/~elharo/faq/Macintosh.html

  and check it out.  If there's something you think should be
  included (but isn't) let me know at elharo@shock.njit.edu.
  It's very much a work in progress and all feedback is appreciated.
