Fres Version 1.00
Fres is a little Windows 3.0 program designed to display update vital session information. Fres displays and updates the current date, time, windows mode, free memory and free system resources (the percentage of space remaining in the User or GDI heaps -- whichever is less). It will not run in real mode.
The display looks something like this:

Description
Mode The Windows Mode
Enh -- Enhanced 386 mode
Std -- Standard mode
Memory The remaining amount of system memory.
This may total more than the physical amount of
storage in the machine in enhanced mode.
Welcome to the world of virtual memory!
Heap The name of the limiting windows heap
User -- the USER.EXE heap
GDI -- the GDI.EXE heap
By 'limiting' we mean the heap which has the
least free memory. These 2 heaps comprise
what Windows calls 'Free System Resources'.
% The amount of space remaining in the heap.
When you close Fres, it saves its current location to the WIN.INI file. It starts up in the saved position the next time you open it.

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/
