   PART 4 of 4: Appendix I: HP48 "BEST PROGRAMS AND WHERE TO GET THEM" LIST

  ********************************************************************** 
             HP48 "BEST PROGRAMS AND WHERE TO GET THEM" LIST
  **********************************************************************

        This list is designed to help HP48 users locate useful, well 
        written programs for their HP48, selected by HP48 users who send 
        in recommendations for their favorite programs.  
 
        Many HP48 programs can be found on the following FTP sites:  

        wuarchive.wustl.edu  :  /systems/hp/hp48
       *ftp.cis.com          :  /pub/hp48g  
        hpcvbbs.external.hp.com :  /dist

       *( All programs in the main file areas (excluding uploads, 
          unprocessed directories) at ftp.cis.com are GX compatible.  
          The index file at ftp.cis.com is very well maintained and has 
          excellent program descriptions. ) 

         CompuServe has a modest HP 48 archive in the HP handhelds forum.
         Type "go HPSYSTEMS" to access the forum.  HP 48-specific files can 
         be found in DL 4 

                               Appendices:
         1)        Other HP48 FTP Sites
         2)        FTP by Mail
         3)        HP48 BBS's
         4)        Goodies Disks

        The entries in the list generally follow this format:

PROGRAM                 AUTHOR 
SUMMARY
COMPATIBLE              APPROX SIZE
LOCATION
        
        Compatibility is noted by either SX (SX only), GX (GX only),
SX/GX (SX and GX), or SX/GX? (Works on SX, not sure about GX).  If you 
try a SX/GX? program on a GX, let me know if it works/doesn't so I can 
change it on the list! 

        If you want to recommend a program that is not on this list, send 
email to: "madd0118@nova.gmi.edu" with all the appropriate 
information.  Please tell me the exact path and location , or I can't 
put it in the list.  Recommendations from users are the only thing that 
keep the list growing!

                         APPENDIX 2: FTP BY MAIL
                   ***********************************

        For those of you who don't have FTP access, you can FTP 
programs by mail.  To do this, you send commands via email message to 
the ftpmail server, and it then sends back the programs, usually in a 
uuencoded format by email 
  
        For access to any ftp site, I use the sunsite ftpmail server.  It is 
the fastest I've used.  To get more information, send a mail message to 
"ftpmail@sunsite.unc.edu"  with the content of: 
help 
quit 
        There are other FTP by mail servers like the sunsite server, but 
they are much more heavily used, and take longer.

                       APPENDIX 4: HP GOODIES DISKS
                   ***********************************
        
        The HP Goodies Disks are a set of disks that are chock full of 
great HP48 files.  They are collected by Joe Horn, and sold through 
Educalc.  They contain all shareware/freeware files.  Right now there are 
9 disks.  They can be obtained via anonymous ftp from the places listed 
below. , or they can be purchased from EduCalc. In the listings above, 
they are referred to by "GD #".  All the goodies disks have a file 
"fileinfo.src" which contains an index of all the files.  I would 
recommend everybody looking through all these disks, as there is lots of 
GREAT stuff on them!

Somebody has started a mailserver for the Goodies Disks.  I'll paste his
message directly in from his posting:

 "If you want to get the goodies disks you must mail:
  File-Request@ve6hf.ampr.ab.ca

  In the body of the message type in:  
  HELP
  QUIT

  To get a file from the HP directory type in:
  GET /files/hp/filename.zip UUE
  QUIT
                "
