Subject: Alternative PD Sources?

Now that the CP/M archives at SIMTEL20 are going away, I'm searching for
alternative sources of PD software.  

I've had mixed results with the Boston Computer Society ZI/TEL library, 
since all of its disks are customized for Kaypro and the sources are 
frequently left out.

Leor Zolman, in his BDS C manual, explicitly points users to the C Users'
Group as a good source of inexpensive software.  Annual membership is $28,
including a subscription to the C Users Journal.  This entitles you to
access to over 300 volumes (diskettes) of PD software, including Small C.
They include diskettes of software specifically coded for BDS C.  They also
sell a two-volume directory, for $18, describing the contents of each volume
and the compilers known to handle them.  For anyone interested, an packet of
information canbe obtainedby contacting:

               The C Users' Group
               2601 Iowa Street
               Lawrence, KS 66047
               913-841-1631

Has anyone gotten software from these folk?  How about the index?  Is it
really worth the money?
