Here's the code disk for the May 1992 Windows Tech Journal. All the files
are ZIP'd for your protection!
SOUND.ZIP: A DLL (in C) and Visual Basic source for adding a GWBASIC-like
SOUND command to Visual Basic.
POKER.ZIP: Turbo Pascal for Windows files (and executable) for Zack
Urlocker's object-oriented Tahoe Draw Poker game.
SMITH.ZIP: C source for William Smith's "Easy as Pie." The code illustrates
different schemes for implementing multitasking in Windows applications.
PLEAS.ZIP: Visual Basic (and other) source to explain how DDE works. The
VB DDE browser is kind of cool.
HAHN.ZIP: This very short assembly language listing is the source for Hahn's
VerifyPtr utility for preventing protection faults. (See article for tips on
use.)
REILLY.ZIP: C++ wrapper classes to simplify access to Btrieve for Windows
functions. Very useful code.

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/
