I have in my possession a cd called "Game masters 4th edition" it was made by A+ games and I have found no other copies of this cd, it has over 800 shareware games and some of them I don't think they've been seen in over 20+ years. Any info on the gem? (Will post pics of the cd and case soon).
Heres the main dir just tell me which file to do a dir print of k?

Sorry no, I have numerous Shareware Compilations like this in my DOS collection.

Many of course were specific gaming discs but some were graphics and font discs.

Anybody remember the True Type Font surcharge for apps like Corel Draw back in the day or even for desktop publishing apps ???

I have a ton of TTF discs lying about....

No matter where you go, there you are...

you should make a list of files with something like like dir /a /s > c:filelist.txt and then attach it to a post here so we can browse it with you 😜

You could use Total Commanders list feature, which lists every file in a text file and lets you browse the list as if it were an archive...

either with a text editor or with Total Commander. Total commander will access it as if it were an actual archive with the files but of course as it is only a text file TC can'T actually open the files 😀

Adding a /S parameter to the DIR command will also cause all files in all subdirectories to be listed, and you can redirect the output to a file.
