06-08-99: I've been pretty busy with other matters
lately- this site probably won't be updated as frequently during the next month.
Although I still intend to distribute the plain
text version, it won't be updated for awhile.
06-02-99:
Added an HTML alternative (fs_fdh.zip,
375K) to the plain text version package (includes all pages on this site, navigable offline). I'll add some docs later.
Miscellaneous notes/ assumptions:
While this site is primarily intended for DOS/ Win3.x users who won't (or
can't) succumb to Win9x/NT, many programs here may be appropriate for any OS
with DOS support. Most programs listed are 16-bit and don't support long
filenames, FAT32, huge drives, may not run on high mhz Pentiums, etc..
No Win32 console programs are currently listed. Some programs may not be
fully Year 2000 compliant. Many programs are not stored on the major ftp archives and
you'll want to scan these downloads with an a-v program like F-Prot.
Thetext
distributioncontains plain text versions of individual pages
listed on this site (except the alphabetical index and second list.) Converted
directly from the HTML. Individual files can be joined into a single, large
(~700K) and ordered ASCII document with an included batch file. Updated
less frequently. 06-11-99: An HTML package is also available. [^]
I tend to make my share of errors while maintaining this list. I appreciate
feedback
about bad links, etc.. If I unknowingly misrepresent a "pay-for-private use"
program as free please notify Rich Green at: <rlgreen2@home.com>.
