Before it got acquired and left to wither, FTP File Search (Norway) was
pretty good. These days my search order is:

Hobbes
Google
Norloff
elsewhere

A large percentage of what's available for OS/2 never makes it to Hobbes
or Norloff. It's just a link on the maintainer's web site. Hobbes is
good for the standard stuff. Peter's site is good for oddball stuff. Leo
has not really been maintained all that well lately.
