Consider it this way: a 19.2Kb trailblazer can sustain about 1Kb per second and a typical internet connection might get 5Kb per second. Thus the time to download this collection of software would be (3,000,000,000/1,000 )/ (60 * 60 * 24) = 34.7 days by trailblazer (3,000,000,000/5,000 )/ (60 * 60 * 24) = 6.9 days by ftp A permuted index of the contents of the PTF CD-ROMs has been appended to the end of the article. -johnj ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PTF continues to be aimed at adventurous UNIX programmers. To build PTF 2-1, we started with PTF 1-2, updating everything to the latest version we could find. Then we added several hundred megabytes of new material. The result would not fit on two CD-ROMs, so we deleted some large, stable items: Andrew, CLU, Columbia Kermit, comp.sources.*, Cygnus Solaris-2 and Vintage Releases, GRASS, ISODE, LispView, Magic, MLX, NCSA Sample Data, RSK's Golden Oldies, Postie Pat, T, UnixTeX, wframe, WRL Modula-2, and X11R5 If you happen to need one of these, don't worry; we still sell PTF 1-2. If you already have a copy of PTF 1-2, hang onto it. You'll probably go back to it on occasion. [N.B., PTF 1-2 is available to domestic customers, but we have suspended all foreign shipments due to an export question.] If the copies of comp.sources.* on PTF 1-2 are not current enough for your needs, we suggest you look into the 1993 NetGems disc: Sterling Software 1404 Fort Crook Rd. South +1 402-291-8300 kent@sterling.com Bellevue, NE 68005 USA +1 402-291-4362 (FAX) In summary, about 2/3 of PTF 2-1 is new; the rest is updated from PTF 1-2. Once again, we are pleased that there is no increase in price. We take our motto (Quality freeware; affordable prices) very seriously. By delivering two discs of compressed archives, we can give you a lot of software for your money. We want to be your favorite distributor of UNIX-related freeware; send us (ptf@cfcl.com) your comments and suggestions. Now for the details: 1) The issue consists of two ISO-9660 CD-ROMs, bound into a 50+ page booklet. Each disc contains 600 MB of compressed archives, notes, etc. The issue unpacks to over 3 GB (3000 MB). 2) PTF is primarily a collection of UNIX-related freeware source code. Here are some of the larger items, including their compressed sizes: KB (C) PTF Directory Name Package Name ====== ================== ============ 299508 docprep/format/tex/uk UK TeX Archive 82198 language/modula_3/src SRC Modula-3 81650 math/netlib NetLib Archive (math and sim.) 78792 icot ICOT (5th Gen.

SUG and USENIX members may purchase the issue for $50. Contact us for unusual cases, quantity discounts, etc. Please note: California orders must include 7% to help with sales tax. Add $5 per order for Domestic (USA) Shipping and Handling. Add $10 per unit (limited to $25 per order) for Foreign S/H. We accept Mastercard and Visa, postal money orders in US funds, and checks in US funds THAT ARE PAYABLE THROUGH A US BANK. 4) The PTF Buying Plan (described below) gives regular purchasers a 30% discount. Please consider joining the plan if you intend to buy PTF on a regular basis. Inquiries and orders may be sent (no email orders, please) to: Prime Time Freeware 370 Altair Way, Suite 150 Tel: +1 408-738-4832 ptf@cfcl.com Sunnyvale, CA 94086 USA Fax: +1 408-738-2050 ________ copies ________ each = ________ + tax = ________ + S/H = ________ Visa/MC ______________________________ Exp. ____________ Buying Plan _____ Purchaser ___________________________________________________________ Organization ___________________________________________________________ Street Address ___________________________________________________________ (No PO Boxes!) City,State,Zip ___________________________________________________________ Country ___________________________________________________________ Phone, Email ___________________________________________________________ ============================================================================ The PTF Buying Plan Under the plan, you authorize shipment of up to two PTF issues per year. We ship each issue as soon as it is ready, charging your credit card 70% of the list price, plus applicable tax and S/H charges. You have two weeks to try out the issue. If you like it, fine. Otherwise, return it to us in good condition. We will credit your card with a full refund. Either of us (yourself or PTF) may cancel this agreement at any time. PTF may cancel the agreement without notice. You must notify us, however, so that we remove you from the Plan. To join, use the form above, checking the PTF Buying Plan slot. ============================================================================ Still with us? OK, here are a few special requests: 1) If you have a major package on PTF, or if you were an active member of the Advisory Board over the last six months, you are eligible for a complementary issue. Let us know if you think you qualify, and why. We will be doing our own homework, but may well miss someone if we are not reminded. 2) If you have expertise in a particular discipline, and would like to be on the Advisory Board, please let us know. We need area experts who can direct us to interesting freeware packages, point out errors, and so forth. 3) We're looking for technical bookstores with a strong UNIX focus. (If a store has two dozen UNIX-related titles, it is a good candidate.) If you know of such a store in your area (or elsewhere :-), please let us know. We will try to convince them to carry PTF. 4) If you are interested in reselling PTF, please let us know. We offer all the usual sorts of discounts and terms. With a new issue coming out, now is a *very* good time to become a PTF reseller. 5) If you are part of a club or organization that could use (or resell) multiple copies of PTF, please get in touch. Our quantity discounts can make this a very attractive way to buy.
