NCSA Mosaic was one of THE first browsers to allow surfers to browse the 'net graphically and with multimedia (what's a plugin?). Get this, and you'll be getting a great piece of computer history.
Netscape Navigator/Communcator
- Abandonware/Freeware
Netscape -- now open source software under the Mozilla trademark -- was another web browsing pioneer. Some organizations still use Netscape 4 now. Please note that even Netscape 4.07 misrenders MANY sites due to buggy software. If you wish to use Netscape-based browsers, go get the newest milestone of Mozilla from
http://www.mozilla.org. The early (I think pre-2.0) versions were called "Mosaic Navigator." Any relation to NCSA Mosaic? I don't know. You tell me if you find out. Some of these versions are full, some are just Navigator. It's a mixed bag. Also, versions before .9 were never meant to be used, so good luck getting them to work, and kudos to you if you can actually surf with them.

Arachne
- Freeware/Abandonware
Arachne is the most popular Internet browser for DOS today. It is graphical, and includes a TCP/IP stack so you're all ready to go. I recommend this if you have a supported network card, and don't have Windows installed.
ARC is used to create and maintain file archives. An archive is a group of files collected together into one file in such a way that the individual files may be recovered intact. ARC automatically compresses the files being archived so that the resulting archive takes up a minimum amount of space.
ARJ provides excellent file compression in terms of resulting archive size and speed. It has the option to create multiple volume archives with one command making ARJ useful for making backups to multiple floppies or archiving a very large file to several floppies. It can process and archive up to 32,000 files at one time, and includes a myriad of commands and options to provide ummatched flexibility in archiver usage.
This program is great for managing small budgets. Good for managing multiple budget schemes. Uses extended VGA mode. © Dan Rose

PKArc
- Freeware/Abandonware
PKARC can add 3,095 files to an archive in one sweep, and has a special limited-disk-size handling to enable the update of archive files which are larger than 50% of your floppy disk storage area. A List Files feature has been added to further automate the archiving and file reconstruction process. It includes an option which saves time by reconstructing only the most recent version of the file to be extracted when another same-named file already resides on your disk.
PKZip is a DOS based utility in which you can compress and archive files. The most common and obvious use for this utility is to save disk space. Although this is the main reason for the program there are some other not so obvious uses for it. For example, say you have a file or group of files which you need to give to a friend. The selection totals 5 megabytes of space. With
PKZip you can make one large zip file span over several disks. This allows you to transport the files to other systems easily. Another important use for compressing files is to speed up transfers between systems. Most ZIP files are universal, i.e., these should unzip most files made in newer versions of
WinZip.
RAR is an extremely powerful tool which allows you to manage and control archive files. RAR features include mouse support and menus, non-RAR archive support, a common 'standard' command-line interface, and the ability to recover physically damaged archives. It has better compression than other PC tools using 'solid' archiving, locking, password, file order list, disk volume labels & more. For the newest version of RAR, visit rarlab.com.
Screen Thief is a screen capture program that will capture the screens other programs cannot reach! Captures directly to .GIF, .PCX, .TIF or .BMP format, supports all VGA modes, plus extended support for Super VGA modes. It will even capture re-defined fonts in text mode (such as those used by DOS 6). Note: this application is not year 2000 compliant.
TeleDisk is a utility which will convert any diskette into a file and vice-versa. The diskette need not be a DOS diskette. The result is an exact copy of the original diskette. The file produced by
TeleDisk is compressed to minimal size. You can then transmit this file using your favorite communications program and again use
TeleDisk to reconstruct an exact copy of the diskette from that file. No muss, no fuss - and very easy to use. Note: Versions after 2.11 may not work reliably with a 40 track, 360 kByte floppy drive.
Yet another compression format, this features usefull features such as update an archive, as well as print. This is more commonly used on *NIX systems.
