    The problem with external links is that they can die on the vine without the courtesy of a termination notice... :)

    Perl Power Tools & Cmd line Tools are gone with no forwarding address, Berkley Utilities fails the firewall test with the keyword "games", it may load outside $work! Unix Tools for DOS points to a jhacker page...the nerve...
