Thanks, Ralf: https://winworldpc.com/home might be a good place for all things software, while The Internet Archive at https://archive.org/ would be a good place for both software and manuals.

Re: [Freedos-user] DOS software
You might be surprised. Certainly on eBay. I personally would love to buy extra word processing, especially things I never got a chance to try. Oh and adapters for small devices like laptops, with software to configure them. Seriously, in some parts of the world, lower graphics environments are often all available.

Does this stuff have any use to anyone? At least in Germany, "retro" people pay a lot on eBay for DOS software. But mostly for games. Maybe worth a try. Otherwise putting the manuals to Internet Archive and/or bitsavers.org would be great.

Not *all* software will probably work. Now I'm thinking about temporarily resurrecting my old PC with a 5.25" floppy disk drive to read two other disks from books.

I doubt that all software still works, in case it got shipped on magnetic media such as diskettes, but you could start by writing a list of book titles you want to get rid of here :-) Eric ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
