You are asking about shareware, freeware, or public-domain programs,
 right? Commercial software is not legally distributed through the net,
 in general. (Occasionally vendors will make patches available, but these
 are useful only to upgrade software you already own.)

 That said, the quickest way to find a program you are looking for is to
 use a WWW search utility such as Google at <http://www.google.com>.

 There are also several newsgroups to help you find a program.
 comp.binaries.ibm.pc.wanted is generally the best place to ask your
 question. Please review the guidelines in <Q:01.12> [What other
 technical newsgroups should I know about?]
