Does someone here knows good sites to find old MS-DOS programs that are
either freeware or abandonware? *I DO NOT WANT GAMES*

I mantain a DR-DOS system here under Bochs.

Here's some of my DOS software - http://www.pc-tools.net/dos/

http://www.pc-tools.net/dos/pwrmenu/
Freeware simple menu system, used on a few bootable CD projects and runs on
DR-DOS and FreeDOS last time I checked. Very low memory footprint.

A couple simple screen blanking screen savers, small footprint

Big collection of small DOS utilities

When I was crazy enough to write everything in assembler. Even one that
makes HTML indexes from directory listings :)
 
I still have a lot of AI ( artificial intelligence ) software from my BBS
time ( 1990 - 1994 ).
I think it's about 400 Mb and most off it is freeware; there must be some
shareware between it.

90 % is for MSDOS and there is a little bit AI software for Windows 3.1x,
MacIntosh, OS/2 and Unix systems .
Is there a place where I can upload these programms; or ask if somebody is
interested in this software? It's great software for MSDOS and it would be
nice if the software could be downloaded somewhere.
On the other side ... who is interested today in those old MSDOS software?
Or wants to learn something about AI?
XP is a killer application for all that software. Could a M$ user work with
a DOS prompt? Almost no graphics, no shooting, no nothing for a XP user.
Is there still a life for this software or is it passed?

Very good stuff here... I got a MS-DOS text editor here that I liked
and am using in my main Windows 98 system.

You may or may not have tried River Canyon BBS
You need a couple of hours to wade through it all:

A mixed bag, something for everyone [DOS, Win, OS/2, Mac etc]:)

Thanks, a long time since I've seen a BBS site. Like going to a garage sale, never
know what you'll find.
