A while ago, James Brookes wrote a utility called &quot;describe&quot;.
It has a simple purpose: To maintain a database of utilities for
<A HREF="gno">GNO/ME</A>
and
<A HREF="http://hypermall.com/byteworks">ORCA/Shell</A>
and offer a way to get a concise description of a utility quickly and easily.
<P>
Since describe is nothing without an up-to-date database,
<A HREF="http://www.arrowweb.com/sbehrens">S&ouml;nke Behrens</A> created
the first online describe database, which provided a central repository
for the data, and an easy mechanism for updating that data.
<p>
Leslie Barstow also maintains an online version of the describe database.
(He gets his data from S&ouml;nke.)
His version is indexed by alphabet and category, and is searchable.
You can find his version at
<A href="http://www.servtech.com/public/phoenix/computers/gno">
http://www.servtech.com/public/phoenix/computers/gno</A>.
<p>
This page is based heavily on S&ouml;nke's and Leslie's work.
