I don't know what the story behind the "HELP! Charity Compilation" is, and I'm familiar with less than half of the games on it. But it's nice it is to see that they went with some genuinely good ones, rather than just scraping the bottom of the shareware barrel.

I know Prince of Persia and The Case of the Serrated Scalpel alone would have been well worth the $9.50 (shipping cost included) I ended up paying for it.

Or at least it would if I didn't already have those two. 😀

Thanks to a recent upload to the Internet Archive from "LazArchive", I could finally put together a set of compatible MS-DOS 3.31 floppy disks. The COMPAQ FASTART utility disk from 1989 finally works as intended using the COMPAQ User Programs v6.01 Rev B. This never worked for me before, so it's a huge improvement! 😃

MS-DOS v3.31 is a particularly useful version of DOS, because it was the first version to support a partition size of over 32MB... up to 512MB!
