Now at v2.2 and supports TCP/IP connections through Marinetti v2.0 and
higher.

>Spectrum Internet Suite

Now at v1.1.  There is also an alpha library that lets it work through
a Marinetti connection but doesn't quite work yet.  Also supports
VAX/VMS as well as Unix shells now.

Now at v2.01.

Now called MUG! (MS-DOS Utilities Graphical !nterface)  It is an NDA
and is at v1.01.

No longer available.

There is a large number of software titles that have been
reclassified.  I believe they have all been mentioned in the A2 forum
on Delphi but I'm not sure if they are all in one thread or spread
throughout the forum.  I've been wanting to see someone make a
definitive list of all the reclassified titles.

Those are the only two print periodicals left.  The only other one I
read is The Lamp! which is a monthly electronic periodical on Delphi.
