If you are looking for popular, less ancient programs, move on to my ⇒ Free Software page.
Most of my programs here are written with Borland Pascal 7.0 and should run under all 16 bit and 32 bit versions of Microsoft Windows (or MS-DOS) on almost any PC. Bad luck if you run a 64 bit Windows 7! But there are free DOS emulators for almost all existing systems...

They are all zip-compressed to save web-space and online-time. If you don’t yet have a programm to decompress them, you can use FreeZip (without exclamation mark!).
