Subject: Software /Freeware ************************************************************* CLIENT FILES ************************************************************* # 1. FTP, (file transfer protocol client). Although there are other FTP clients, the one I find to have the best user friendly screens is: FILE: ws_ftp.zip (VERSION 95-07-08) # 2. EMAIL READERS: -> RFDMAIL rfdmail.zip (rfdml123.zip, rfdmail.$00) -> EUDORA eudor144.exe (eudora14.exe, eudor143.exe) -> PEGASUS winpm201.zip -> AGENT (Also a news reader, but has a good email component) agent99a.zip # 3. NEWSGROUP READERS: AGENT agent055.zipagent99a.zip OTHER NEWS READERS wtwsk10a.zip This is Peter Tatam's newsreader winvn921.zip This is another Window's newsreader # 4. WEB BROWSERS: -> NETSCAPE ns16-100.exe n1612b6.exe (latest version) -> SLIPKNOT slnot111.zip < slnot110.zip, slnot100.zip> # 5. OTHER CLIENTS: The other clients that I will be reviewing include IRC (Internet Relay Chat), GOPHER, ARCHIE, and TELNET. Each of these clients, like the FTP client provide a certain tool for accessing the internet easily. -> IRC mirc34.zip msirc14g.zip < my second choice> -> GOPHER wsg-12.exe -> ARCHIE wsarch08.zip -> TELNET ewan105.zip -> LVIEW (A graphics utility) lview31.exe lviewp1b.exe iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii A complete description of these improvements is available in the Release Notes on our Web pages. Free Agent 1.0 is available via anonymous FTP from ftp.forteinc.com/pub/forte/free_agent/fagent10.zip or through our WWW pages at <http://www.forteinc.com/forte/>. You can unzip it into your existing Agent directory. Free Agent is free to individuals for personal use at home and to students or staff of educational institutions and non-profit organizations. Free Agent is, and always will be, a freeware product. Since we are also introducing the first of our commercial products, we will be making some changes in our support policies in order to maintain the level and quality of support established during the beta trials. The most important for freeware users is that we will no longer be able to provide direct technical support for Free Agent, although we will continue to monitor key newsgroups and update our Web pages as we have in the past. At this time, we would also like to announce our Special Offer for the pre-release version of Agent, called Agent .99. Many of you provided us with comments and suggestions during our recent marketing survey and your response was overwhelmingly positive. We have incorporated many of your suggestions and requests into our plan, and we would now like to invite you to take advantage of this offer for Agent .99! SPECIAL OFFER: >> (Bob's note -- extended to October 31 and possibly a little later >> now as they are behind in their sechedule.) << >From now until August 31st , Forte is offering Agent .99 to individuals who wish to purchase our commercial newsreader product. Agent .99 is now available for $29.00 U.S. (the regular price for Agent after August 31st will be $40.00 plus shipping and handling if applicable.) This product is fully supported and includes all of the features and functionality of Free Agent 1.0 plus: -- Multilingual Spelling Checker -- 6 months of free upgrades and technical support (via email) -- Interim upgrade in August featuring basic email functionality (supports SMTP and POP3) -- Upgrade to Agent 1.0 features (planned for September 1995) -- Option to receive a free shrink-wrapped package of Agent 1.0, including disks and User Manual, when the final product is released (this special price includes the cost of shipping) For more information on Free Agent 1.0 or the Special Offer for Agent .99, please check our Web pages at <http://www.forteinc.com/forte/>.
