Something different:

In case you’re interested in Richard Wagner’s Ring of the Nibelung (the greatest work of art ever created by a single person),
but don’t want to sit through 16 hours of opera (though, you should), here is my short

Some resources of free literature on the web:
Project Gutenberg: www.gutenberg.org
Project Gutenberg Australia: gutenberg.net.au
Wikisource: wikisource.org
The Online Books Page: onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu
LibriVox (human-read audio books): librivox.org
(On these sites you’ll also find most of the books that are in this library, but, of course, not the same editions.)
Other interesting places to visit:
The Software Section has been deleted from the Dunyazad website.
My programmable Hypatia RPN Calculator has its own website:
Recent version: 5.0 from August 4, 2025
There you can also find the WITH utility (recent version: 1.01 from April 4, 2023).
Other tools and links have become outdated and obsolete, and it makes no sense here anymore to maintain them.
