343
Tiny Windows XP+ GUI
Programs On 1x1.44mb Floppy
You know the drill . . . housekeeping first.
There are 8 pages linked to this one.
The 343 programs are split into 7 major groups, with each group containing around 40-50 programs (arranged in functional sub-groups) as documenting all programs on one page was a dog's breakfast.
The first 7 pages each have:
# Details of each program in an embedded image format (as I'm HTML illiterate):
The details I've included for each program are:
* Program size in kb - the file size of the executable
* Year created - either from included documentation / the author's web site / the exe file / my best guess
Note the exe file date is not always an accurate indication as in the early days when zips were not common
and the exe file was unzipped, the date (created) will be the date it was downloaded. Dates on exe files in a
zip are accurate though as only the zip file date would be changed on download
* Program name - either from included documentation / the GUI name / the exe name / provided by me
* Author's name (if known)
* Zip file name in the download - many early downloads were .exe only and I've zipped them to reduce space
* Exe file name in the Zip file - the exe file name in the .IMA file may be amended to avoid duplicate names
* URL link to author's site - some still exist but many of these now exist only on the Internet Archive (IA) or
not at all (some authors didn't seem to trust the IA in the early days and excluded their site from the IA)
The IA prefix to the URL indicates the site is only available now on the Internet Archive
For most of these sites, choose a site capture of around 2004 - later captures are typically domain squatters
* Brief program description - either from included documentation, or if none, provided by me
* My (very) brief comment on each one
* The updated .exe file name in the .IMA if applicable (to avoid duplicate .exe names)
* The 101 newer programs added to the original 242 are highlighted in pale blue, for what it's worth
* An indicator in the XP ? column for program dependencies - * means a dependency of some kind
# Screenshots of each program in embedded image format (except for programs that don't display a GUI)
The last page has a summary of all 343 programs and 6 files available for download:
1. A 1.44mb floppy disk image in .IMA format which contains a .7z file that has all 343 program .exe files
arranged in groups and sub groups
2. A 4 page .pdf document that summarises the groups/sub groups/programs in the .IMA .7z file
3. A .7z file with all the 343 programs in groups/sub groups in zipped format - each program zip file will
contain the program .exe and may have other documentation about the program (although usually not)
The program zip files in this .7z file are basically as downloaded from the magic web yonks ago - zip file
dates will not be accurate as the files have been moved/copied many times in the last 25+ years
4. A 45 page .pdf document with details of all programs in the format as shown above (URL links in the pdf
document are copyable but not clickable)
5. A 55 page .pdf document with a screenshot of all 343 programs (excepting those with no GUI)
6. A Zip file containing all 5 files listed above
And a few final comments:
All of the programs here have been created by enthusiastic amateurs ~20+ years ago, so all credit to them for their work and for making their work freely available for others to enjoy.
I've tried to identify the developer of each program but unfortunately some are now lost in time.
There are some most excellent small Windows programs in the collection - thank you everyone.
Download and enjoy.
Kind regards,
