Borland Quattro Pro (Special Edition) 1991-09-20
http://vetusware.com/download/Borland%20Quattro%20Pro%20_Special%20Edition_%201991-09-20/?id=15475
Quattro Pro Special Edition is a scaled down version of Quattro Pro priced for the home market. It lacks the WYSIWYG of the full version. Although labeled "1.0", it is based off of Quattro Pro 3 or 4. Archive includes four 5.25" 360k floppy disk images.

IBM TopView 1.10
http://vetusware.com/download/IBM%20TopView%201.10/?id=15474
Released by IBM in 1984, TopView was a text-mode windowed multitasker for the IBM PC, XT, and AT computer. It featured preemptive multitasking, text-based windowed task sessions, overlapping windows, and supports the use of a mouse. In part, it was one of the reasons why overlapping windows were added to Microsoft Windows 2.0. TopView was later overtaken by DesqView, OS/2, and Windows. Topview 1.10 adds support for IBM PC LAN Program 1.10, IBM PC 3270 Emulation Program 2.0, better support for running DOS commands inside TopView, and adds help. This version does not support the PS/2 mouse. That support is added in 1.12. TopView can not use DOS mouse drivers.

Lotus Metro 1.00
http://vetusware.com/download/Lotus%20Metro%201.00/?id=15473
Lotus Metro is a set of resident desktop management tools similar to Borland Sidekick or Popcorn desktop. Metro includes an appointment book, phone book, scheduler, calculator, clipboard, and a text editor. A user can call up these tools while almost any other DOS program is running. In addition to performing small tasks without exiting their primary program, Metro can copy information from or to the screen. It also include macro functionality for automating tasks comparable to Borland SuperKey. It was primarily targeted at existing users of Lotus 1-2-3 and Lotus Symphony. It was followed up by at least one update, Lotus Metro 1.1. Metro is not very intuitive. Here are a few hints to get started: - Activate the configuration menu: shift-alt-? - Press shift-alt and a letter to activate other accessories. - F10 brings up the accessory menu, which lets you quit. - Scroll lock allows you to move the window using the arrow keys. Important: It seems to be incompatible with DOS 5.0 or later. The keyboard stops accepting input. Use an earlier version of DOS.
