This is an announcement for *BSD users. It provides a software list
for FreeBSD & NetBSD (and maybe other BSD systems ?). This list is divided
into three sections and it will be posted 2 times a month (1st and 15th).

The first section shows a list of packages which can be obtained from
freebsd.cdrom.com. It's a list of FreeBSD ported software and some of these
programs maybe won't run under NetBSD (someone told me) so can anyone from
the NetBSD-Front send me such a list for the NetBSD people ?
If something's changed please don't hesitate to mail me and tell me what
has been changed ! Our links to the US are very bad, so I can't check
if packages have been deleted/updated/added !

The second section is a software list from other UNIX communities (e.g. Linux
and others) which can be ported very easily so there's no need for a real port
and we can save disk space. 
That means you, the *BSD community, have to check which programs and sources
can be installed without any problems so that they don't need to be added to
the packages directories. 
If you find any useful software which doesn't appear in this list, please send
me a mail with the following form:

Subject: Software list for *BSD

category:server(inetnum):path/program:description [changes]

E.g. category is communication or diskutils etc., server and inetnum is the
address of the FTP-server, path/program is the path and the name of the program
where to find this application, description could be some short statements and
optional minimal changes (inetnum is also optional). By the way: please add
a comment on which system you tested the software (FreeBSD or NetBSD & Version)!

The third section is a commercial software list.
If you want to provide Software for the commercial section please send me a
mail with the following form:

Subject: Software list for *BSD (commercial)

productname:company:Tel/Fax:address:description [email/ftp]

The entry email/ftp is optional if the company offers information via
mail- or ftp-server.

We won't list prices here unless I will get dozens of mails from users who are
begging for a price list or a company will send me millions of dollars. :-)
I think if you ask at these companies, they will give you the price for their 
product so we don't have to mention it in this list.

If you would like to change something or if you have any suggestions/proposals
(perhaps you don't understand my bad english ?) so feel free to write me at 

uwp@cs.tu-berlin.de 

Your comments are welcome !
