Computing links

I'll just sneak a link to my (approximately current) Netscape-version BOOKMARK.HTM file. Many of the pages of this entire site were originally lifted en masse from this file. There are still lots more in this little folder of links.

And as a little extra, Ztree is the replacement in Win95/98/NT/2000 for the ever-memorable XTree. Try Ztree; and its beta versions
And even have a look at the Xtree fan site
