Isn't at least some of this archived in the SIMTEL20 set?

Unfourtunately alot of the sun and os/2 stuff from the larger crate seems
to be incomplete. Less than half of the numbered disks for each set. Next
to useless in my eyes. All of the software from the first crate is
complete, i can get to listing what is there tonight.

I am making images of the disks. They will be available on my server, and
ill put them up on bitsavers or something of the like.

It would not take much time to archive these disks and post somewhere for
those who have the disks that have gone bad, have docs but lost the/s disk
in the set, etc.

I found a set of disks with the DEC digital logo on them. 4-5 disks, 
says dos for the dec pc. Some utilitys too. Are these of any use to 
anyone, or is it just a stock dos install with a dec sticker on the 
disk?


There are little heaps of disks on just about every surface around here, 
i will post back with a complete list of what is here to see if anyone 
is interested in what is here. I just want some of the software off of 
the disks, i don't necessarily want to keep the two full crates of disks 
around . There is also an original copy of doom on floppy that looks to 
be complete.


I'm still on the lookout for Procomm Plus for Windows (ver 2.11) if you 
happen across that on 3.5" disks. I bought what was supposed to be a boxed 
copy off eBay years ago and it was mostly complete... box, manuals, 
license, but no disks :)

I picked up two crates jam packed full of floppys today. Bunch of random
old utilities in there, borland turbo asm, turbo pascal, windows for
workgroups etc.

I found a set of disks with the DEC digital logo on them. 4-5 disks, says
dos for the dec pc. Some utilitys too. Are these of any use to anyone, or
is it just a stock dos install with a dec sticker on the disk?

There are little heaps of disks on just about every surface around here, i
will  post back with a complete list of what is here to see if anyone is
interested in what is here. I just want some of the software off of the
disks, i don't necessarily want to keep the two full crates of disks around
. There is also an original copy of doom on floppy that looks to be
complete.
