All files are either standard zip archives
(*.zip) or self-extracting zip archives (*.exe)
U PKZIP
(203 k), DOS. File compression/decompression tools, which are needed
to unarchive most of the software available on the internet (including
most of the files on this page).
I SEA
(705 k), DOS. Fast, friendly graphic viewer/converter, which also
makes great thumbnail catalogue files.
I DISPLAY
(811 k), DOS. Graphics viewer/converter. A sluggish and somewhat
complex program which isn't a patch on SEA for day-to-day image viewing.
However, DISPLAY does have its good points, including a split-screen
setting which makes it easy to organise graphic files and directories;
and a fair range of image processing tools; and it converts between a much
larger range of file formats than SEA. So, maybe it isn't so bad
after all.
U PGP
263i (300 k), DOS. Probably the best-loved and most trusted free
encryption program on the planet. American readers should note that
this particular version of is NOT legal in the United States and should
check my Links page, under Cryptography, Freedom,
Censorship and Pornography, for access to a site offering a copy
that is.
U MPGP
(22 k), DOS. Command line utility that makes it easy to use PGP to
encrypt/decrypt multiple files using simple or public key encryption, and
using wildcards.
U DOS NAVIGATOR
(768 k), DOS. Superb, feature-rich, front end/file manager for DOS.
U HTMSTRIP
(110 k), DOS. HTML-to-ASCII converter, which works much better than
any other I've found.
U RZSPLIT
(30 k), DOS. A program for splitting large zip files into smaller
ones and highly unusual in its ability to handle zip files containing individual
files larger than 1.4 MB. Very handy for backing up things like DOOM
when the original disks have become corrupted.
U TXTABLE
(88 k), DOS. A program for generating text tables.
G DIEP
(131 K), DOS. Good, solid chess program, with decent graphics, lots
of features and quite strong gameplay. Players who find it too easy might
care to visit the Rebel Home
Page, where they can download a DOS program called Rebel Decade, a
freeware demo of Rebel.
G ZANGBAND
(1257k), DOS. Most recent DOS version of what is probably the most
popular Angband variant.
U APACK
(58k), DOS. Useful utility for compressing executable files (just
make sure you back up important ones before you use it!). Another such
program is
U XDOC
(35k),
DOS. Text -to-exe utility.
I GIF
TOOLS (43k), DOS. A gif commenter, splitter, etc. No docs
with this version, so download last version
documentation.
G TIMELESS
(151k), DOS. One of those audio-visual demos which seem intended
to simulate (or enhance?) the effects of mind-altering substances. Surreal
and worth a look if you've never seen such programs.
