Being left with a backup of about a months worth of files, I've been
attempting to make a dent in the pile. It's going, generally, but
it's not quite done yet. Anyway, these are the new files on
msdos.archive.umich.edu. Sorry about the lack of order, but I
haven't been doing them in any particular order.
Oh, and this post is Mike's fault. He said he wanted it. :P
Direct questions about the archive to msdos-archivist@archive.umich.edu

msdos/games/educational/aalpha.zip 485008 bytes
by Flix Productions
This is a game involving pressing the letter that the item in the picture
begins with. Seems to be fairly self explanatory... (requires EGA) (has
mouse support)
msdos/games/educational/amath1.zip 364071 bytes
by Flix Productions
This is a young child's math game. It includes simple addition, some
number identification, and reward animations for getting the right answers.
(requires EGA) (has mouse support)
msdos/games/educational/amem10.zip 254102 bytes
by Flix Productions
This is the game of memory... Find the cards that match. All of the cards
have animations that are performed when the proper match is made. There's
also a small "movie theater" in which to watch the animations of the cards.
(requires EGA)
msdos/games/adventure/ancients.zip 343181 bytes
by FARR-WARE
A dungeons and dragons type game, it looks like it has really cool graphics
and layout, but it seems to crash my computer a lot. (Requires VGA, 386?)
Any comments from the field?
msdos/games/educational/animshap.zip 294552 bytes
by Flix Productions
This is a game of identifying shapes and colors. When they've all been
identified for the current picture, the shapes animate themselves. Some neat
animations in this program. (Requires EGA)

The game of Tank Wars... Firing at other tanks while they fire at you. If
you like this game, try out msdos/games/scorch12.zip.
msdos/games/scorch12.zip 200389 bytes
by Wendell T. Hicken
The game of Tank Wars... sort of. It's another version of the same game, but
with more options, and more types of bombs. I must say that I approve of
this version, and find it to be somewhat better than bomb32.zip. (Requires
VGA)
msdos/games/scor11.zip 177313 bytes
by Wendell T. Hicken
An older (better?) version of Scorch. (Requires VGA)
msdos/games/adventure/catabs13.zip 830350 bytes
by Gamer's Edge
A 3-D adventure game. It's supposed to use the same graphics engine as
Wolfenstein 3-D, so at least the graphics should be good. But, it requires
more free RAM than I have at the moment. (requires EGA, 590K RAM) Comments
from the field?
msdos/games/adventure/dracula.zip 177052 bytes
by SDJ Enterprises, Inc

really nicely done, though. (requires VGA)
msdos/games/tracer01.zip 70981 bytes

your "pen."
msdos/communications/ncsa/tn3270.exe 247552 bytes

A newer version of tn3270 for the PC. This is just the executable, nothing
else. It will require the NCSA Telnet package files to run, especially the
CONFIG.TEL file.
msdos/mswindows/desktop/restpm.zip 7681 bytes
by AT-WARE
This is a program that automatically brings up the Program Manager in
Windows 3.1 after all of the other programs have been exitted. I didn't
actually try it, but the rest of the stuff from them works... Should work
best if you usually use minimize a lot.
msdos/communications/morse.zip 52439 bytes
by g0sib
This is a morse code tutor.
msdos/util/merge.zip 35584 bytes
by Colin Schroeder
Merges ASCII files on a line-by-line basis. It basically takes lines from
the files and concatenates them, writing the new lines to a new file. It
will do this for up to 4 files at a time, though I suppose that you could do
more than that, if you used it more than once.
msdos/mswindows/util/wru311.zip 79979 bytes
by AT-WARE
Windows 3.1 file finder for systems with large or networked drives. It
will scan compressed files for the file your looking for, too.
msdos/mswindows/programming/wdasm12.zip 62808 bytes

Windows 3.x disassembler. Don't know much about it. It seemed to work
well when I tried it, but I don't know Intel code all that well.

personal computer, and simulations of the same. The registered version of the

more.
msdos/games/strategy/capture.zip 244215 bytes
by Larr Software
Capture the flag. Requires VGA, 286. Nice strategy game, but I don't have
VGA, regrettably.
msdos/database/coinbase.zip 154112 bytes
by Dan Ledbetter
United States coin collection database. It's of use to some, I'm sure, but
I'm not a coin collector. Looks fairly slick, though, it could definitely
be of use.
msdos/programming/docs/inter33a.zip 359233 bytes

mouse. The author recommends lots of memory and a math coprocessor. It will
take TGA, IMG, and GIF files, and it creates compressed Targa-32 files.
msdos/editors/dngdng12.zip 324735 bytes
by Yijun Ding
The DingDong Chinese Word Processor. A little complicated, but, what did
you expect? Looks like it does the job, though, and the registered version
can print to more printers, and has more fonts.
msdos/tsr/dvdevl12.zip 11395 bytes
by Ralph Brown
Device driver loader for DESQview. The author claims it works better,
faster, and smaller than the loader that comes with DESQview.

by Stewart Bamford

KXP1081, but claims to be configurable for other printers.
