  • Simtel MS-DOS Archives now online

    From Sarah P to All on Mon Dec 9 11:15:40 2024
    The venerable Simtel MS-DOS Archive has been added to the file area. Inside you'll find thousands of freeware and shareware MS-DOS utilities, applications and games.

    Our library is a convergence of the last 2 commercial Simtel releases on
    CD-ROM in 1999, and represents what a BBS of that era might have available (provided it had 2 CD drives or plenty of disk space). The Simtel archive continued for a while longer as an FTP site before eventually disappearing. Many folks, including me, contributed programs to the archive over the years. It was one of the best ways to make your software widely available in the
    days before everything was trivial to Google.

    Fire up DOSBox, VirtualBox or qemu and enjoy!
