News on the BESTPR package by Timo Salmi in reverse order
|
|
=========================================================
|
|
|
|
University of Vaasa, Finland, Linux Pentium garbo.uwasa.fi has a
|
|
large collection of PD and shareware PC programs available by
|
|
anonymous ftp, WWW and mail server. The file /pc/ts/news-pd2
|
|
contains news about select uploads to Garbo archives (in reverse
|
|
order). This text, which you now have, is an extract from the
|
|
news-pd2 file and Usenet news.

Sat 30-Sep-95: I recently release an update of "Timo's choice of 43
|
|
best MS-DOS SW and PD packages". Since then several users on Usenet
|
|
have suggested including full URL file paths. I have done so in a
|
|
file BESTPATH.TXT now included in the new version
|
|
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/pd2/besta43a.zip
|
|
Timo's choice of 43 best MS-DOS SW and PD packages
|
|
|
|
Sat 23-Sep-95: I have made an update
|
|
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/pd2/bestp43.zip
|
|
Timo's choice of 43 best MS-DOS SW and PD packages
|
|
Not surprisingly many of the selections that were on the original
|
|
list were utilities that complemented what the earlier MS-DOS
|
|
versions lacked. I have moved the consequently outdated selections
|
|
to a separate file earlybst.txt in this the collection. I have also
|
|
updated the version numbers.
|
|
|
|
Wed 15-Mar-95: I have made an update
|
|
garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/pd2/bestp42.zip
|
|
Timo's choice of 42 best MS-DOS SW and PD packages
|
|
Added fourteen new selections to bring the total up to 42 from 28.
|
|
Altered two selections. Updated version numbers. Added my standard,
|
|
general information material.

|
|

|
|

Sat 16-Mar-91: Having had the opportunity to use PCs extensively
|
|
both at work and at home for several years I decided to take a very
|
|
subjective look at what have been the most useful MS-DOS shareware
|
|
and PD utilities for me. Here are my choices in an alphabetical
|
|
order.
