Abstract

Xnetlib is a new tool for software distribution. Whereas its predecessor netlib uses email as the user interface to its large collection of public-domain mathematical software, Xnetlib uses an X Window interface and socket-based communication. Xnetlib makes it easy to search through a large distributed collection of software and to retrieve requested software in seconds.
