Free Software for DOS Secondary Program List |
9 Dec 2005 |
This heterogeneous "second" list was created to hold programs that didn't find a spot on the primary (main) list for one or more reasons: 1) Too specialized to warrant space for an extended description; 2) Incoming (we haven't had time to write an extended description); 3) Essentially redundant compared with other programs already on the primary list.
