You answered your own question, didn't you? You want others to help you, but you don't want to help others. Do you see the problem there?

I think this is a misunderstanding. For 50 points, you can download the full disk image sets of 50 games. 50 points are easily earned by adding three games (10 + 10 points per game) or, currently, even just two games within the scope of our running site theme (15 + 15 points per game). If you have specific questions about that, we're happy to help you, but just whining that you cannot do it will not help.

Steam is a platform based on a virtual format, they won't give you disks, but will allow you to download the game. If they have done the same as with other MS-Dos games, they will run on DosBox, and they are the same as the MS-Dos editions, so if you want to do anything with them, just look for the installed folder and copy what you need.

Sorry my bad english.
I didnt said I dont want to help the others, I mean that I can't.
I dont have much time, I'm going to a travel to a place here in brazil that do not have Internet or something like.
And I have this old computer. As I going to stay a long long time there, I want the disks and a DoS to have something to do on free time.
Also.. I trying to help. But as I said, this website need more publishing. I found it on luck. And there not much people here.
I'll help in anything I can. Even programming or server protection.


Sorry, I realy didn't get about the points and how download.
Can you explain again?

Sorry? Yes. There is a 23,7% new ip connection per month. About 76,3% of connections per week and 15,2% per month. This site is quite acceced by google and partners, but still not much.
I mean, that numbers make 1 in 8 chances to me help some one and get the points. I someone post today a post requiring help, about 8 people will have the chance to help. ...
Screw it.. I'll try to help erveryone...
But I dont have much time... Sorry if you misundertood me... I'm a little nervous of have to do this travel and have nothing but dirt...
You know... Not that I against fresh air... but... 11 months without internet and tecnologic is quite a bit of time. I want to take this notebook of mine just with old games. just for fun.

Listen, it is quite obvious that you have not even properly looked around on this site. Stupid external guesswork about visitor stats will not help you to understand what we are doing here. This is the place to start if you want to understand how you can help, because those are the main contents we have (which I would bet you haven't even "found"). Add to those contents, and you get points. It's as simple as that.

Don't know if you have solved this problem by now, but back in the DOS days, we used programs like ARJ or PKZIP to compress the files and span them over multiple discs. You can find them on many old DOS sites, for example at OldDOS.org.

You can look up the commands for PKUNZIP here:
Quote:
3. To compress files onto multiple diskettes.

PKZIP -& a:\TEST.ZIP C:\TEMP\*.*


Simply remove the DOSBox.exe from your Doom (or wathever game) install and compress the rest to handy 1.44MB parts.
