Around the world there is a very large amount of public domain and contributed software for X, and it includes many high-quality tools and application programs. The first step in using any of this free software is to know that it exists. In a pilot project the Computing Services of the University of Edinburgh and the European X User Group give you a way to peruse the archives. It will tell you what software exists, usually with a very brief description for each item. You may be able to obtain many of these sources on tape or CD-ROM from the UKUUG Software Distribution Service.
