Archive-name: msdos-archives/part1 Last-modified: May 8, 1994 Version: 3.5 Prologue ... :-) a) Program of This Issue: >> TelePrompter 1.2 (tlpr12.zip) << in oak.oakland.edu: /SimTel/msdos/graphics " If you have a video camera you will absolutely love this software! This program has all the features of the expensive teleprompters used for commercial television. You can enter up to 5000 lines of text in the builtin text editor, or load files from your word processor. Text is large and smooth, so it is easily read from a distance. Scrolling speed can be controlled from the keyboard, or remotely with a mouse. Uses Herc/CGA/ EGA/VGA " - from file_id.diz b) Some Files of Interest ... 1) Snooper - oak: /pub/msdos/sysinfo/snoop330.zip - This is a pretty comprehensive system information utility ... 2) pico for dos - ftp.cac.washinton.edu: /pine/msdos/pcpine-p.zip - pico.exe inside the archived file is the Dos version of pico an increasingly popular Unix editor that comes with the email program Pine ... If you are familiar with pico on Unix, you will likely find pico for Dos a simple-to-use editor on your PC as well ... 3) McAfee Scan 2.0 - oak: /pub/msdos/virus/scn-200.zip - This is the next generation of McAfee virus scan/clean program ... It is faster than the 11* series of McAfee scan/clean ... :-) But it doesn't yet have a graphical interface .. :-( 4) Win32s - ftp.microsoft.com: /developer/devtools/win32sdk/win32s115.zip - This is the 32-bit add-on to Windows 3.1 ... so you can run 32-bit win programs without getting NT ... It fixes lots of bugs in earlier versions ... 5) W4W 6.0 -> 2.0 - ftp.microsoft.com: /softlib/mslfiles/mswrd6.exe - For converting Word for Windows 6.0a files to 2.0 format ... 6) QEMM 7.04 patch - qdeck.com: /pub/qemm/patch/703to704.zip - If you've QEMM and haven't upgraded to version 7.04, get this patch which will bring about a dozen enhancements to 7.03 ... 7) Executor Demo - oak: /pub/msdos/emulator/exctr12{a,b,c}.zip - This MAC emulator demo has been out for a while ... If you've tried it, please tell me if this is a good program as I know very little about Mac ... c) windows help version of this list is in preparation ... and more Windows entries to come in next issues ... suggestions are welcome ... Useful MSDOS Programs at SimTel and Garbo (Part 1 of 2) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **** The Ultimate Guide to MSDOS Archive Files **** (and Windows files as well)

Compiled by Samuel Ko ([email protected]) This is a good selection of the "best" sharewares and freewares that are available mostly from the SimTel Software Repository (previously, the SIMTEL20 archive site) and the Garbo ftp site (garbo.uwasa.fi). This list contains many commonly-and-frequently-wanted sharewares/freewares/ public domain programs. So, before you post any requests for ftp'able MSDOS files in comp.archives.msdos.d, comp.binaries.ibm.pc.wanted or other msdos/pc newsgroups, please try to read the list first. This will help reduce the traffic in those groups a bit. Besides you might find some other interesting stuff here. For security reasons the SimTel Software Repository is located on a host that is not accessible by Internet users, however its files are available by anonymous ftp from the primary mirror site Oak (oak.oakland.edu) and secondary mirror sites (a list of which can be found in Appendix 1). I, therefore, use the directories of Oak in this compilation. If you do not have ftp access, please read Appendix 2 for instructions on how to obtain most of the files listed below by e-mail. ** As most files listed here are zipped, you will need ... either pkunzip.exe v.2.04g in pkz204g.exe or unzip.exe v.5.1 in unz51x.exe to unzip them. Please refer to Section B below to find where these can be obtained. ** (It's also important to remember to transfer the files in BINARY setting both from the ftp site to your host and from your host to your computer.) Thanks to all who have helped in improving the list. However, to save some bandwidth, I do not want to include a very very long list of acknowledgment. I do sincerely thank each and every one of you who has contributed to this compilation in one way or the other. So, this collection is the product of the combined wisdom of many netnews readers and archive users. (yes, errors and shortcomings are my responsibility :-) Please note that archive/ftp site maintainers do not endorse the recommendations in the list unless they tell you otherwise. Any further comments and suggestions will be very much appreciated. I am particularly interested in any programs that you think are better than those listed below. The list should be (more or less) accurate as of May 7, 1994. However, as the world of archive files is rapidly changing, many entries here may be dated soon. So, please read the newsgroup comp.archives.msdos.announce or consult the index files of the archive sites to keep yourself informed of the latest uploads and changes. [ you may regard this as a disclaimer :-) ] I will try to update and post this regularly. General format of an entry: --------------------------------------------------------------------------Program: Name and/or Description Version: The latest release Upload Date: The date the program was uploaded to SimTel or Oak File: The name of the file that corresponds to the program Size: The size of the archive file Location: The directory from which the file can be found Status: Shareware / Freeware Info Shareware - copyrighted (or patented) programs distributed and sold

--------------------------------------------------------------------------Trivia ..... 1) purposes ? This is a collection of many useful, common, and popular sharewares, freewares, and public domain programs ... It will (I hope) give you (especially those who are new to the world of archive files) a good idea on the range of files and programs you can obtain from major DOS ftp sites ... This list also aims to promote high-quality sharewares, freewares and public domain programs ... (see 3) below) 2) "useful" ? a) most of the programs listed below should enhance DOS in one way or another ... b) most of them should work on any DOS-based computers (from XTs to 486s, from monochrome to SVGA, etc ...) c) most of them can be run by intuition, i.e. you don't have to read the manuals pages after pages to get the programs started ... "If an experienced user who is not familiar with the particular program is still practically stuck after the first ten minutes, the user interface of a PD or a shareware program is unacceptable, however good and useful the application may otherwise be." - Timo Salmi d) most of them should be relatively bug-free ...
