| BBS Toolkit | CD-ROM | August 1995 | This is a poorly curated collection of BBS programs, Doors, and utility programs for BBSes. The file dates on the content range from 1989-1995. |
| The Original Shareware Vol 1.1 | CD-ROM | August 1993 | This disc was more aimed at the home user than the typical BBS sysop. There are no individual index files by area and the 'master' list of files doesn't include extensions to the filenames! It too a lot of work to get the contents in a condition where my "disc exploder" could do its job. The file dates on the content range from 1986-1993. |
