@LAST is typically distributed in two ARC files. The first ARC file is called
@LAST1.ARC and contains the files specific to @LAST. The second ARC file
is called @LAST2.ARC and contains the Lotus supplied routines to utilize
add-ins with 1-2-3. If you are already using Release 1.11 of the Lotus
Add-In Manager, then you do not need the files in @LAST2.ARC.
PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE @LAST WITHOUT THIS README FILE & RELATED DOCUMENTATION

NOTES: If you are already using 1-2-3 add-ins and have the Add-In Manager
Release 1.11 installed in your configuration file, then simply copy
@LAST.ADN into the directory (or onto the floppy diskette) you are
using for 1-2-3.
You may use a file other than 123.SET as your 123 configuration file.
If you do, then specify that file name instead of 123.SET in the
@LAST installation procedures. (For details on 123.SET see your Lotus
documentation.)
If you are going to install @LAST onto a floppy system using the
provided utility FLOPPY.COM, then create a diskette with the files
@LAST.ADN, ADD_MGR.EXE, ADN_MGR.DRV, FLOPPY.COM and @LASTEX.WK1
on it. (Do not load the diskette up with the ARC files, for
instance, since the installation procedure requires a fair amount of
free disk space. You can include all the files contained in the
two ARC files if you want to, but it is better to just include those
files listed above.)

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/
