utility. NEED.COM and AVOID.COM 4.8 are a pair of utilities for
ensuring the environment is friendly before continuing. They
will test the waters for and report back on such things as:
1. Is DESQview, BTrieve, 386MAX, Append, Share ... running?
2. Is there sufficient conventional, extended and expanded RAM?
3. Is there sufficient free disk space?
5. What kind of CPU and NPX do you have?
6. Calendar checks SUNDAY DAY MONTH YEAR?
6. What Windows version is running if any?
7. More safe-to-install type tests that you can shake a stick at.
What's New?
- non-standard Phoenix BIOSes now correctly reported as ATs.
- CD-ROMs no longer confuse the LAN test.
- 4DOS presence.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
