One will never get a comprehensive database of programs, tutorials, etc. for use by those visiting this particular forum. The work involved is too extensive. It would be much easier to just find what is already available and just have a link to those places. And even that would be a very big effort. Believe me, I speak from years of experience: http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/Fractal_Software.html and http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/Fractal_Census.html and http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/Fractal_Links.txt And to be really popular for everyone, this centralized database would need to be easily accessable to the general public without having to put up with advertisments, required signon IDs, scripting that causes browser problems, etc.....
