Welcome to the Lost+Found Archive! <!------------------------------------------------------------------!> UPDATE 10.10.2025 <!------------------------------------------------------------------!> Disclaimer. Outdated software is intended to be shared as far and wide as possible among retro enthusiasts. I meticulously make sure the titles presented, haven’t already been archived on other sites -it’s inevitable that they eventually will. Some may wonder why I’m now instead sharing my findings here. The reason is, public is not for me -and the only reason I started in the first place contributing. I can’t change my virtues, but I can change the way I present my findings. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the preservation efforts, by saving and securing a copy. Go ahead and archive it on websites for the community to enjoy. There's no need to mention the pseudonym I use in the Mac community, thank you. All that I ask, out of courtesy is that you credit System 7 Today This thread is a collection of mostly permanent links —as most of these files has already been securely stored. Everybody is welcome to post a request here —what small snippets of info can you recall? __/_/__/_/__/_/__/_/__/_/__/_/__/_/__/_/__/_/__/_/__/ <!------------------------------------------------------------------!> Titles, and/or versions not already uploaded and archived on IA -or elsewhere. The Y2KP tag indicates it's a present link, requiring modern browsers. These links will be temporary. Discmaster links will still be prioritized —whenever that's possible. These links are permanent. Links in the Long-Lost Attic Treasures thread –are directly to the WARCs. <!------------------------------------------------------------------!> VNC · Olivetti & Oracle Research Lab (ORL) · AT&T · RealVNC · Purple Shark Software · +Others · 1998+ Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is, in essence, a remote display system which allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures. VNC is available for multiple platforms. Legacy systems: Linux RPMs & Debian packages, AIX, Acorn RISC OS, Amiga, BeOS, BSDI, Cygwin32, DOS, EPOC (Psion), FreeBSD, Geos (eg. Nokia 9000), GGI, HP/UX, HP, Jornada, Java VNC server, KDE, LinuxPPC, MacOS X VNC server, MacOS X Xvnc, MacOS VNCThing (alternative viewer), MacOS alternative VNC server, NetBSD, NetWinder, Newton, Oberon, OpenBSD, OpenStep/Mach, OS/2, Tru64, Digital Unix/OSF, Palm devices (PalmPilot, Palm III, etc), RedHat Linux 6.x, SCO, OpenServer, SGI Irix, SPARC Linux, SunOS 4.1.3, SVGALIB (Linux without an X server) & Single-floppy Linux, VMS, VT52 Terminal, Windows CE, Windows NT/Alpha Compatibility 68k users please note that the vncPatches distributed with ChromiVNC is incompatible with 68k-based machines. Do not install the vncPatches on a 68k machine —see ReadMe for more info. Handshaking begins immediately after the low-level transport is connected, with the server sending a ProtocolVersion message to the client. However, a common mistake among VNC users is to connect a Web browser to the VNC port instead of a VNC client. It is therefore acceptable to wait a few hundred milliseconds after transport connection, listening for a HTTP GET request from a bogus Web browser, so that a valid and human-readable HTTP/HTML formatted error can be returned instead of the cryptic version string. Download VNC.zip —Y2KP Downloads always scanned with Agax, Disinfectant, and Virex, prior to linking -as usual. “For Mac users” —In this case, other systems has been scanned using modern scans -a Windows .exe has been deleted. Use appropriate legacy scanners for the other platforms. __/_/__/_/__/_/__/_/__/_/__/_/__/_/__/_/__/_/__/_/__/ The Archive · (Links changed to http) · (You may have to copy and paste into a new browser tab) · (You may have to add the ‘.sit’ extension after downloading) · (You may have to add the ‘.hqx’ extension after downloading) · (You may have to copy & paste the BinHex code into a new plain text doc and save it with an extension) 09.26.2025 Crossword Express v5-6.7 · & Player v1.3 · AUS-PC-SOFT Shareware 1999-2001+ 09.25.2025 South Park Icons · 1997 09.03.2025 XMedia · HyperCard Media Editor · Angelo Scicolone 2000 08.18.2025 Mac Net Journal (Lost+Found Issues) · White Rabbit Publishing 1994 ~ 1996 08.11.2025 Apple-Jam · (SS) · Brian Sutter & Hari Wiguna · HealthCare Communications, Inc. 1987 08.10.2025 CrossPro v1.1 · (SS) · Aspen Gold Software 1993 · puzzles by Stavrolex Publications, Inc. 08.09.2025 Network Access Disk · Apple Computer, Inc. 1994 08.06.2025 FIFstart, IFstart · Interactive Fiction Starter's Kit · Russ Bryan 1996 · Fredrik Ramsberg 1997 07.27.2025 CHIP-8 Games 07.27.2025 MacSloMo v59, v66, v67 · Tobias Strstedt · TJ Grant · Derek Smith 07.27.2025 Crazy-8 v1.0.4 · CHIP-8 and CHIP-48 (SCHIP) emulator + source · TJ Grant 2000 07.27.2025 MacVision-8 v1.0 · CHIP-8 emulator · Lars Malmborg 1997 · Marcel de Kogel 1997-99 · TJ Grant 2000 07.25.2025 (FAT)ichat Plug-in v1.1.5b, (68K)ichat Plug-in v2.1, (PPC)ichat Plug-in v2.1, (PPC)ichat Plug-in v2.2.3 07.22.2025 Assembler for Macintosh With PowerPC · MPW · Joseph Aseo · Apple Computer, Inc. 1994 07.21.2025 MacDungeonMaster v2.2 · (IA) · easy DMing for AD&D 07.16.2025 NewsRunner v1.0 · (IA) · Not just a news reader 07.12.2025 WebWatcher v2.1 · (SS) · Track updates 07.05.2025 MarinerJ v4.0.1 · (68K) · (PPC) · (SS) · Spreadsheet 07.05.2025 Mariner v3.1.4 · (SS) 07.05.2025 Mariner v1.1c · (SS) Take me to the Long-Lost Attic Treasures |

I'm not following you. Can you explain what you mean when you say a link is at risk of getting excluded from the IA every time it's shared?

Of course, I think this could be an interesting topic to discuss and have various people contribute. Please elaborate if you can spare the time.

@Cashed I read your reply, but don't remember everything. Why did you delete your explanation?

Oh boy!  I found IA archived copies of VMware Fusion not found anywhere but deep inside of IA; I didn’t post them all, but if someone figures out the secret sauce to locate them, those links could be cooked! Well, wiped away! I debated posting copies of them on the MG as they are all somewhat mature, but not the one I needed for High Sierra, my host system; yikes!

How is it safer to post the links here?

@Bolkonskij -all right -I'll elaborate. @ShinoKEnobi -good to hear you had read it. The explanation got deleted due to repercussion. @cbone -awesome find! I urge you to vacuum that abyss dry and archive everything locally  @ShinoKEnobi -good point, why I initially contributed on another site that used to be safe. I always secure a copy of all versions prior to, and after linking -and encourage everyone do the same. Portions of, or all of the following may be subject to editorial changes -to preserve the past. Most are blissfully unaware of the fact that links are at risk of getting excluded from the IA every time they are shared. Throughout the years I’ve been accumulating a comprehensive list of sources. Some of the links that I have previously shared on other sites -has later consequently been excluded. Hence, why links shared in the Long-Lost Attic Treasures thread, vanish again -most often within an hour. There’s a big difference between files already uploaded and archived on the Internet Archive. —And the WARC files (Web ARChive) -captures of websites. I bump into exclusions all the time -see them daily almost. Xoom.com was similar to GeoCities web hosting, and once accessible, now -excluded. Another example is gulli.com -it had file sharing. Most of the ones I have on my list, aren't even listed on; List of websites excluded from the Wayback Machine List of websites excluded from the Wayback Machine/Partial exclusions How? As the creator, you hold the rights, and the intellectual property (IP) of that software / file —or, You used to own that domain —or, You bought that domain. All you have to do is simply submit a request. What? It will remain securely stored away inside the WARC file at the Internet Archive —but inaccessible and unavailable for the public. Generally, copyright last from the date of creation until + 70 years after the author pass away. For anonymous, pseudonymous, and hired / publisher creations, it lasts 95 - 120 years from the date of first publication. What that implies for the rest of us is that -It’ll first enter the public domain again long after our lifetime. Per se -nothing online is ever safe. However, this site is more safe. It does not pop up in search engines, as it is not indexed by Google –same goes for others. But compared to other sites, System7Today isn’t publishing content to the public. As an archivist I carry a responsibility for the vintage community, to preserve the past —that required I got obliterated. The wiped was partially successful, with the exception of some loose ends like e.g. the Bookmarks page —OG contributor. I explicitly requested that page be taken down, but as of yet -that’s been neglected. Despite that, I still have the deepest respect for, and cherish the webmaster -so ought everyone else too. Preservation is just more important to me than my reputation. I don't live with my head up in the blue sky.

It’s sad to see how preservation can be misconstrued as infringement, if for nothing else for software that’s no longer in circulation; I get why people hold on to bits here and there, but still, why? what’s the point if it’s no longer sold? yet that’s the phobia of people’s perceptions of IPs being taken advantage of; what part of its preservation constitutes loss of someone’s revenue? it all plays out like a game, but the saddest statistic of all is that it only benefits lawyers looking to get something out of it by looking for websites to demand software be taken down no matter how old and of no use it may be. I think it’s that very last point that worries both Cached and the rest of us the most, frankly

I really hate corporate greed. It ruins everything, and there is never an end to it. Is the Garden going away? If people can't buy stuff anymore, then it shouldn't matter. Even if people DID buy legit old software, which would be used, the corps still wouldn't make money off of it. I do actually buy CDs and software that are from the '90s sometimes. I bought a Windows 98 SE pack, an XP pack, and other stuff because I wanted legit copies. So there's no need to fight the communities that keep old tech working.

No regrets, don't dwell on the past -lost nothing. System 7 Mac community enthusiasts gains —moving onwards. There's been an update -scroll up. Maybe someone might fancy a book. . . Assembler for Macintosh With PowerPC? Beam me up in the attic —click my Globus.

Thanks for sharing that great book find, Cashed!  I’ve always been fascinated by Assembler language, if for nothing else, its sheer ability to do so much with so little code! My two favorite programs “assembled” with it have been MPEGDec and WriteNow, which are super fast, tiny and feature-rich!

Thanks cbone I tend to not to bump this thread, myself -but everyone is welcome. Instead I reply on the next update at the bottom. The book has been clarified as part of the MPW Documentation. Don't like Emulators? Don't like Games? How about Tap and Read? -Well then scroll up.
