...Thanks for the link.

There is another CD, with very much the same opensource software, being
sold by several outfits for as low as $.99 US plus about $1.50 shipping.
It's the "GNUwin II v. 2.2" CD, which is easily located with Google. Good
proggys and no downloading but it's not "priceless." juzme

Not quite true. You can download every program on the CD, but only one
at a time:

http://gnuwin.epfl.ch/apps/en/bestlist.html

Click on any of the program links on that page and you'll be taken to
a page with a download link for that specific program.

Main page is here:

http://gnuwin.epfl.ch/

By the way, the current version is 2.3.

Heh. I have a fiber optic connection. I can download an iso image of a
CD in about 10 minutes or less. I never buy CDs.
