KWEST-PD library archived (14.12.2019 - 21:42 Uhr)

AtariAge user rcamp48 has archived a PD collection that has not yet been backed up. The collection consists of 37 of the 38 floppy disks of the KWEST Library from 1989 to 1993 and contains a lot of well-known stuff, for example the utilities of Double Click Software, which are also known from German PD series, but also unusual stuff like the Mozzie Repeller II, which is said to drive away mosquitoes with high frequency sounds. KWEST was a user club for 8- and 16/32-bit computers, the club also maintained a PD series for Atari's 8-bit computers. Archiving the KWEST library does not end the search for PD disks: especially PD series that were never collected on PD/Shareware CDs are only incompletely preserved. This includes many dealer-owned series such as Karstadt or PSG. Often such disks are found sporadically in disk boxes, random finds that are lost in the mass of S-, J- and V-PD disks. Whether there are programs on these disks that are not found in any other series is another question.
