The Foundry is working for you.
Below you will find a list of the applications currently
made available through the Foundry's efforts. CD-ROMs are sold to defray the
cost of duplication and packaging. NOTE: The source code for the applications
is also available at the Foundry. Foundry users can download this code for
free. However, CD-based applications normally contain large data sets that
are not available for download. CD-ROMS may be freely copied: buy ONE and
reuse PLEASE!
