        The BEST place to find Windows software is WinFiles -

        I believe that a product called Agent is quite popular.

        I use CodeWright myself, but that's a professional editor. There's
a LOT of good text editors both free and shareware available.

        ACDsee is supposed to be very good, though I've never used it.
Another good one is called LView.

        I don't have a name for you, but check out WinFiles - there are a
LOT of them up there!

        If any of the sessions are MacOS formatted, check out MacDrive98
which will mount multi-session CD's - as well as Mac floppies, hard disks,
ZIP's, JAZ, etc.

        I prefer FTP Explorer myself - MUCH nicer UI, and it's free!

        Again, check WinFiles.

Oh, and most important, get yourself a copy of StuffIt Expander and
DropStuff for Windows form the Aladdin web site
