the inet software you may need:

If you're reading this, you're already using Netscape or Explorer

Eudora's ftp site * My favorite mac email software is now available for windows! The filtering function is an absolute must for anyone receiving a lot of email. Check out Stroud's review

Some PC users seem to prefer Pegasus for email, like Eudora Light, it's free. Unlike Eudora, Pegasus also gives you LAN (local area network) email on Novell networks.

aol users who can't decode the email MIME format should get FCODE32 at shareware.com

Go to Stroud's 32 bit software overview or to Everything You Need to Surf the Net - For Free! to get links for other shareware internet software

WinZip seems to be THE decompression decoder of choice for windows users, who often post zip archives on the net. Winzip should also allow you to decode Mac-style binhex (.hqx) files

Alternatively you could get Alladin's Stuffit Expander which supports all the files WinZip does plus Alladin's own .sit files.

Get your free Acrobat Reader it will useful to retrieve a lot of texts on the web (like the New York Times)
