- I've been playing with a number of programs under Executor/DOS, and I
- think I've found some that seem to work (at least to a usable extent).
-
- I know that Jered Floyd is maintaining a web page of apps, and I will
- submit these to his page eventually, but part of the problem is I have
- no idea where I obtained most of these or what their original filenames
- are (I have several BBS and commercial file sources that wouldn't be
- useful for net users, many filenames had to be converted to 8.3 to get
- them onto my FAT machine, and some came off a CD-ROM games collection
- and might not be around online at all).
-
- Eventually I'll be submitting these to Jered's page with *real* text
- descriptions and (hopefully) links to the files (*assuming I finally
- find each of the shareware/freeware files on the net somewhere).
-
- At any rate, here's the list so far. I've been looking at graphics
- programs and games, mostly. Sorry that I don't have/provide filenames
- or sources, but intelligent seraching on Info-MAC or Filepile or other
- web sites or FTP sites should be possible given a program name.

- That's all I've looked at to this point. Some of the programs might
- have functions that don't work, but I think they seem useful (or seem
- playable in the case of games) enough to consider grabbing. If you
- can find them. :-)
