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

This site is mirrored on:
   wuarchive.wustl.edu in mirrors/archive.umich.edu
 
and a couple of other places I can't remember.

also a small "movie theater" in which to watch the animations of the cards.

 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?

 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)

 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?

really nicely done, though.  (requires VGA)

 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.

 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.

 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.

 Windows 3.x disassembler.  Don't know much about it.  It seemed to work

 msdos/games/strategy/capture.zip                       244215 bytes

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.

 by David K. Mason
 An alpha version of a picture morpher.  It requires VGA, a 286, and MS-compat

 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
