Finding DOS Software

Finding DOS Software:-

                                                 One of the toughest tricks to accomplish nowadays is finding DOS programs. Everything on the store shelves is Windows, Windows, Windows. In fact, It's a lot easier to find software for Linux than it is for DOS. There are usually a couple of stores in each city that sell used computers and software and they're worth checking out. Another place to check out are the different schools, businesses and larger organizations in your community that probably have old DOS programs kicking around on shelves in their archives. This is especially true if you're looking for business-related programs like word processing software or database and spreadsheet programs. The price from these organizations may be the cost of your gas to go and pick them up!
If you're really stuck, you might check out the manufacturers themselves. I doubt very much if they just threw everything out when Windows took over, and they might even have a list of other obsolete programs collecting dust in their warehouse.

Of course, there's the Internet. Performing a search in your favorite browser will probably find you all kinds of shareware and freeware for DOS, as well as more possibilities on where to find brand name software. You might have to check this out and download from someone else's computer, though. Something with a little speed!
