Software and Data for _PC_ Astronomers

I would have enjoyed this book better if the author would have touched on platforms beyond the DOS-Windows PC. There are enough files on the disc that are readable on other platorms: images, text, html, and PDFs, but no programs for anything beyond the DOS-Windows PC. Many astronomers use UNIX, LINUX, Macintosh, and other operating systems. These astronomers need to communicate their findings with each other. The overview of the various web sites is the strength of this book. It gives one a good starting point for finding astronomical information on the internet.
