1.68mb
Floppy Office
22 Windows GUI Programs
This is my version of a 1.68mb floppy disk (image) with as many small, functional and useful Windows GUI programs that I could fit into 1.68mb.
There are 22 programs in a 1.68mb HD 3.5" floppy image (IMA format).
These programs are focussed towards office applications and the reason for using a 1.68mb floppy image is that the smallest PDF reader I could find (Cool PDF Reader) is 600kb, so that ruled out a 1.44mb floppy.
I think a PDF reader is essential for any office activity that involves documents and it's usually the program that's missing from small floppy office builds due to the fact PDF readers are space hogs.
Apart from the reader, there's the usual RTF Editor, Spreadsheet, File Manager, Web Browser, Image Editor, etc.
With the exception of the unzip program and a text file that lists the contents of the image, all other programs are contained in a zip file in the IMA.
To use in a virtual machine:
* Mount the IMA file as floppy drive A:
* Run the unzip program 100K_zipper from A:
* Open the zip file in the IMA that contains the other 32 programs
* Create a working directory on C: and then extract the other 20 programs in the zip into it
* Also copy the unzip program to the working directory on C:
To use in a physical machine:
* Pretty much the same as above, except first write the IMA to a 720kb floppy and mount the floppy
Gute Zeiten !
22 small windows GUI programs for your enjoyment.
I've tested all of these programs on an XP VM and they all work fine. Some may work with w9x through to Windows 10, but that's for you to test out.
None of the programs have a dependency on any other Windows component (excluding the OS) that I can see.
If you don't want to futz around with mounting an image file, I've also included for download a separate zip file with all 22 programs so that all you have to do is unzip the contents of that to a USB drive and then drag and drop the 22 programs from the USB drive onto your P3 Windows XP white box PC.
The 22 programs in the floppy image are:
