I'm just a newcomer on the forum. I got my own computer in the era when DOS and Win95 were taking over from each other. I believe some people from that time were like me: limited by machine specs, we always wanted the Win95 graphical interface and plug-and-play functions, while at the same time trying to keep the hardware requirements and system burden as low as possible. So I tried my best to shrink the size of windows95; looked for early for win versions of all kinds of application software, as well as video and audio software that didn't depend on MMX technology.
At that time, because pirated software was expensive and not widely distributed, and the network was still underdeveloped, a lot of software could never be found. Now in this day and age, the problems mentioned above have all improved, but now there are as few people who understand early windows as there are people who understand DOS, and most Windows forums don't have topics like this. Some forum webmasters, administrators, and moderators don't understand DOS command line operations at all. I believe that since this forum is a DOS forum, there should be quite a few people here who went through that era, and quite a few people who have this kind of software too, so I hope a special download section can be set up for everyone to share and discuss. |

I think early Win95 software can all be placed in the "Windows and Other Operating Systems" section.

The following is quoted from Wengier's post at 2003-7-14 21:48:34: Problems and discussion about early windows can of course be handled on the forum, but for win software is usually quite large, and relying on stickies alone is not convenient for software searches, so I hope a download section can be added to the website. |

The forum already has quite a lot of sections now... If more are added, won't it seem a bit too many and too cluttered?

Not added to the forum, but added to the main site. I can provide some old software.

Hehe, I'm also very familiar with DOS and windows95, really miss the charm of those little software tools back then.

They should also provide more Win3.x software
ps:Wengier, a lot of stuff on your site can't be downloaded. So depressing! |
