Here you will find articles documenting the history and development of
computers and the internet, written by the masters.

You will also find software packages for various platforms:

     Linux, MS-DOS, Win16, Win32

Some are *heavily* modified by yours truly (especially the DOS packages).
For instance, many of the DOS packages were designed to run on 'lilliput'
(my venerable Compaq SLT286 laptop), so he could play on the networks.

The Linux packages are primarily C source code.  If you use MS-Kermit as
a telnet client, you'll want to get 'gku100' and compile it on your Unix
host (it's small and requires no init files).

The Win16 packages are a 'musthave' for those older 'consumer OS's'.

The Win32 packages are a 'musthave' for those newer 'consumer OS's'.
