| - As I've had little time to fix broken links to binary files, I decided to provide a link to my local [FSFD Binary Collection] circa 2001 (my last attempt to collect all binaries listed on FSFD). If you encounter a dead binary link on the main pages, you may be able to locate the program (by name) in this directory. Of course, many programs were added post-2001 and won't be available in this collection. Also includes lots of cruft that was never added to FSFD.

| 2014-08-11 | - Still here. Updating links, but no time to generate new content. 20th anniversay this year. Yikes!
I'm sad to see so many DOS sites go dark or dormant during the past few years without explanation or context. While this site is effectively dormant, it remains actively maintained and monitored. I do hope a day will come when I can devote time to commentary and reflection on the early years of the PC. DOS was surely a critical seed of consumer computing. The programs here attest to the early, and vigorous energy of the free software community.

| 2013-08-20 | - Periodically updating dead links, but no time to generate new content.
- Sadly, I learned months-too-late that the great Garbo archive went dark in late 2012. Cause: server failure. And it will not be resurrected. Thankfully, the Internet Archive has preserved Garbo in a 1 Gb zip file. Thanks Timo for your years of amazing contributions to the DOS community !
- The ghost of SimTel also went extinct late 2012. During the mid 2000's, SimTel morphed into a commercial enterprise focusing on Windows. Didn't really thrive. The MSDOS files of some updated mirrors (c. 2007) are contaminated (altered) with SimTel's Windows downloader/ installer. A still-existing clean mirror (c. 2003): ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/simtelnet/msdos/
- Lot's more dead links to fix here...

|
| 2009-01-01 | - Original author (R. Green) has forked from Short.Stop's dormant 2006 site. Sadly, Steve (Short.Stop) passed away in 2009. Steve was able to maintain and expand upon the accumulated documentation after I could not. It was a great example of an 'open source' project becoming higher quality. Steve unselfishly contributed so much more to the FSFD and DOS community. Steve also concurrently maintained informational links for the VDE text editor and Pegasus mail programs. I intend to make corrections/ additions at a very casual (=snail's) pace. I do not run DOS any more and have been a Linux user for many years.
