New Web Site Makes Lab Software Downloads a Snap

The Computer Infrastructure Support (CIS) web team has set up a download site that features a growing list of software utilities and applications - most available without charge to Lab employees thanks to Lab-wide site licenses. The first of its kind at the Lab, the site offers a centralized, standardized software resource for all platforms used at the Lab. Among the utilities offered are anti-virus programs, Y2K compatibility tools, and Netscape communication applications.

Downloadable programs are organized in an easy-to-use, standardized format. Each listing displays the posting date, the size and version of the software, a short description of the program's function, and the type of license required to use the software. At the moment, only programs with site-wide licenses are available for free, direct download.

A list of software with more limited licenses (possibly requiring additional costs) is also available from the download site.

For more information, contact Cindy Rogers.
