China DOS Union

Moderators and fellow members:
Hello! I can't download most of the software in the "DOS Software" section of the New DOS Era website. Could the moderators and fellow members please help me out and provide me with some of the following software? Thanks in advance!

Specifically, I need the following software:

1. System enhancement category

1. Seal 2.00.11: This is one of the projects in the currently very popular open source movement. It imitates the Win9x interface, is compiled with DJGPP, has file management and other functions, and also comes with quite a few extras, such as a registry editor, music player (can play MP3, MID, WAV, CD, etc.), image viewer, notepad, and some games, with long filename support. Its functions are very powerful, supporting multi-window operation. For example, you can use it to listen to MP3 music, view JPG images, and type at the same time. This is the latest version from this June, and it is still under constant development (the author is developing version 3.0).

2. Desktop2: A GUI interface management program under DOS, with a fairly nice interface, and it comes with its own installer. 1998.9

3. DOSStart 1.9b: A multitasking management program imitating the Win9x interface, with file management and many other functions, plus a powerful help system. It is recommended to load the disk buffer SMARTDRV before starting it to speed things up. Latest version as of this September.

4. WinDOS 250: A multitasking multi-window GUI program, containing two operating interfaces: desktop (Desktop) and file manager (Disktop). It comes with its own installer and is still being continuously updated. This is this year's latest version.

5. TriDOS 0.50: A preemptive multitasking manager under development (that is, the multitasking method in Win9x). You can use keys to create, switch, or terminate each DOS window separately. If everyone likes implementing or using multitasking under DOS, then why not support its development! And it is free software; the source code and other information can all be found on its website. Note: it cannot run for the time being in protected-mode environments such as EMM386. 2001.2

6. Windows 3.2 Chinese edition: The most famous and very powerful DOS enhancement software, no need to say more, right? Fully in Chinese! As for how to run Win3.x under MS-DOS 7.10, please see the article in the "DOS Articles" section.

7. Windows 3.1: Its original English version, once popular all over the world, and indeed very convenient and practical.

Practical software for Windows 3.x

8. SVGA: A universal 256-color SVGA display driver for Win3.x. It is already included with Win3.11 and is suitable for most SVGA graphics cards. Many graphics cards nowadays do not have drivers for Win3.x, and using this can solve the problem. The specific installation method is to change the current display type in the "Control Panel", select this driver, and install it.

9. Speaker: A PC speaker driver for Win3.x. With it, you can use the speaker to play music files.

10. Win32s 1.3: An essential extension program for Win3.x, enabling it to run some 32-bit programs. Many of the programs below need it (for example ICQ, GetRight, WinRAR, etc.). It also comes with the FreeCell game.

11. WinG 1.0: A famous graphics enhancement tool released by Microsoft; many software programs require it.

12. Video for Windows 1.1e: An enhancement tool that enables Win3.x to play AVI and other video files.

13. Calmira 3.3: A powerful and well-known Win3.x enhancement tool overseas. Through powerful features such as the taskbar, Explorer, and skins, it makes Win3.x "become" Win95 in both interface and functions (see picture). You probably wouldn't guess that the system in the picture is actually Win3.x! It also has many accessories and plugins to support more functions (such as many replaceable skins, for example plugins that can turn the interface into a WinXP interface, etc.). You can see more information and files on its website www.calmira.org. This is the latest version released this year, and the author is developing the even more powerful 4.0 version. Let's use it to support its development and the author's efforts!

14. Mask 98: Gives Win3.x full 3D effects, simulating Win95. Together with the above Calmira, it looks even more like it.

15. WinBar 1.2: Adds a powerful Win95-like taskbar to Win3.x, and its display can be customized (including various programs, menus, icons, other options, etc.). I am using it myself, and it feels pretty good.

16. TaskTool 2.3: Another pretty good tool that adds a Win95-style taskbar to Win3.x.

17. DOSBar 1.43: Adds a powerful toolbar to DOS windows in Win3.x, such as paste, copy, close (including force close), etc. I think it is very good, so I recommend everyone use it.

18. Access Pack: The "Accessibility" tools for Win3.x, including "MouseKeys", "ToggleKeys", "SoundSentry", etc.

19. Trumpet Winsock 3: A powerful tool that enables Win3.x to access the Internet through a network card.

20. TCP/IP-32 3.11b: An enhanced TCP/IP protocol from Microsoft for Windows for Workgroups, allowing WFW to access the Internet easily through a network card. I often use it myself to go online through WFW.

21. AOL Instant Messenger: The famous AOL instant messaging software.

22. ICQ 1.111b: The latest 16-bit version of the very famous chat software used worldwide; Win32s must be installed first.

23. Internet Explorer 5.01: The latest 16-bit version of IE, with components such as Java, dialer, Outlook mail program, etc. Moreover, its dialer and other components can also be used with other browsers, for example using it to dial and then going online with another browser (because its dialer supports 56K modems and more functions). Note: if the computer's memory is greater than 50M, when running SETUP to install it you need to add the /f:16 parameter.

24. IE5 128-bit: The 128-bit encryption package for the above IE 5.x, to strengthen the browser's security.

25. DiDaPro 2.50: A powerful and practical HTML editor, similar to MS FrontPage.

26. Cute FTP 2.0: A fairly famous and quite good FTP server program. Not only is the interface good, but the functions are also powerful.

27. GetRight 1.3b: A fairly practical file download manager. Win32s must be installed first.

28. Windows Media Player 5.2: The latest version of "Media Player" for 16-bit Windows.

29. Real Player 5.0: The last 16-bit version, essential for playing formats such as RM/RAM.

30. WinZip 6.3: The last 16-bit version of the famous ZIP file extraction tool.

There is still a lot more software I haven't finished listing; I will continue writing!
