- As I've had little time to fix broken links to
binary files, I decided to provide a link to my
local [FSFD
Binary Collection] circa 2001 (my last attempt
to collect all binaries listed on FSFD). If you
encounter a dead binary link on the main pages, you
may be able to locate the program (by name) in this
directory. Of course, many programs were added
post-2001 and won't be available in this collection.
Also includes lots of cruft that was never added to
FSFD.

- Still
here. Updating links, but no time to generate new
content. 20th anniversay this year. Yikes!
I'm sad to see so many DOS sites go dark or
dormant during the past few years without
explanation or context. While this site is
effectively dormant, it remains actively
maintained and monitored. I do hope a day will
come when I can devote time to commentary and
reflection on the early years of the PC. DOS was
surely a critical seed of consumer computing. The
programs here attest to the early, and vigorous
energy of the free software community.

- Periodically
updating dead links, but no time to generate new
content.
- Sadly, I
learned months-too-late that the great Garbo
archive went dark in late 2012. Cause: server
failure. And it will not be resurrected.
Thankfully, the
Internet Archive has preserved Garbo in a 1 Gb
zip file. Thanks Timo
for your years of amazing contributions to the DOS
community !
- The
ghost of SimTel
also went extinct late 2012. During the mid
2000's, SimTel morphed into a commercial
enterprise focusing on Windows. Didn't really
thrive. The MSDOS files of some updated mirrors
(c. 2007) are contaminated (altered) with SimTel's
Windows downloader/ installer. A still-existing
clean mirror (c. 2003): ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/simtelnet/msdos/
- Lot's
more dead links to fix here...

- Original author (R. Green) has forked from
Short.Stop's dormant 2006 site. Sadly, Steve
(Short.Stop) passed away in 2009. Steve was able to
maintain and expand upon the accumulated documentation
after I could not. It was a great example of an
"open source" project becoming higher quality. Steve
unselfishly contributed so much more to the FSFD and
DOS community. Steve also concurrently maintained
informational links for the VDE text editor and
Pegasus mail programs. I intend
to make corrections/ additions at a very casual
(=snail's) pace. I do not run DOS any more and have
been a Linux user for many years.
