The sipb locker has roughly a ton of stuff in it. It's the major
repository for things the SIPB thinks will be useful to other people;
especially other people on athena. To access the locker, you need to
set up to use it, with the `add' command:
athena% add sipb
The programs there are too numerous to list here (although I am
working on a list, in my spare time). They include:
o Mosaic - a World Wide Web browser (just try it)
o trn, tin,xrn - network news readers
o latex stuff - probably not useful to you right now
o xscreensaver - a simple X screensaver program
o idraw,xfig - drawing/drafting-type programs
o gzip,gunzip - a bigger and better version of `compress'
o ytalk - a more featureful version of `talk'
o bfinger,bwrite- programs for communicating with BITNET sites
o webster - an on-line dictionary (with an old database)
o xwebster - an on-line dictionary (with an old database)
o thesaurus - an on-line thesaurus
o xthesaurus - an on-line thesaurus
o oneko - a cat. try it.
There are a bunch of others, of course. Anything in particular you're
looking for?
