Opry99er Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Well, my 5.25" drive ran swimmingly for about an hour. In that time, I was able to recover some old disks I got from my friend Dick Lauhead up in Minneapolis. Included in this first zipfile is a "Cracked" version of MG Explorer... Apparently there's a "crack screen" you can see below. Crack screens have a very interesting past and history... though this one is rather tame. I have also included a zip file containing a very neat PagePro inverter utility written by my friend. He is a very interesting guy, and if you ever want to go catch a Twins game, holler at Dick... he's got you covered. More to come... my drive flaked out again and stopped reading anything. I'll have to pull it apart and see what I can see. CrackExplorer.zip PPInverter.zip 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 This zip is for a BETA version of a font editor (designed for use with PagePro99). It was written by MSP guru Ed Johnson. This was a UG distribution disk that was not supposed to get out into the public (but 30 years later, I think we can safely say, "It's okay!) He distributed this BETA version to members of MSP99 to test out, and he was apparently expecting to make a big release of this program when it was completed. I cannot verify if that ever happened... This is a BETA version, but it works as advertised. PageProFontEdit.zip 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can have legit versions assembled without protection; not sure if the “crack” did anything to the program or not, so never really used them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 I feel like I've seen this one before... but I had this disk from the MSP99ers group and wanted to share. ChristmasSongs.zip 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Still doing recovery on the MSP99 stuff, but I did find this little nugget. Not exactly riveting, but pretty interesting... Again, might already be out there, but I thought it worth posting CIVILWAR.zip 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
