    What Kinds Of Files Are There On The Internet?

    Basically the same files, or software that are available on computers: program files (including operating systems), text files (including hypertext files & program code), wordprocessed files, graphic files, database files, spreadsheet files, audio files, video files, midi files and many more. Since the Internet protocols allow the transfer of data between different types of computer, you can pick up files from machines running a variety of different operating systems: whther they are UNIX, MSDOS, windows or MAC OS, and are not just restricted to one operating system.

    Many files are available to be incorporated into your personal work, these files may have copy right restrictions on their use, and program files may be freeware, shareware or only available if paid for.

    There are many different sources of software from government departments around the world, international agencies, individual companies, universities, research groups, colleges, groups of individuals with particular interests in common, electronic magazines or private individuals.
