Shareware & Freeware
to Download
|
This software can be downloaded and used immediately.
You'll need to get unzip.exe if you don't have it already.
To use your software, switch to a DOS window
(if using windows) and type UNZIP and the filename.
This will extract the program files. All programs work in
a DOS window or full screen mode for windows 95 and NT.
You can even set up a shortcut and obviously,
they'll also run under plain vanilla DOS.
