I am almost a compulsive DOS application "getter and tester". I also
get the MS-News Digest. I have looked at the ones that are of apparent
interest to me.
> bing118.zip - BootIt Next Generation: Boot and Partition mgr
I already have this. I am working up the courage to try it on my
precious HDD that already contains data.
> jsprt1_0.zip - Jsprite v1.0: Text-based sprite editor
I tried this. Did not seem to have a great value, or even purpose.

Will see what this will do, but Nagy Daniels' claims seem
promising. Could be a better bet than bing118.zip, above. Crippled shareware.
> mxdir224.zip - MaxDIR v2.24: DOS DIR alternative.Color/sorted
Freeware. This works just fine. On the other hand, it doesn't seem to do
anything that Dos Navigator doesn't already cover better.
> wmp3251.zip - Wells MP3: Small, simple MP3 player
Couldn't get this to work at all. It asks for path to MP3 file,
then exits with a screen full of error messages. Freeware.
