@ -15,6 +15,33 @@ I'm not sure if PC Tech Journal regularly (or *ever*) distributed their software
archived them in monthly ZIP files, but obviously someone did, because you can find a bunch of ZIP archives at
"[THE PROGRAMMER'S CORNER BBS ARCHIVE FROM THE PAST](https://www.pcorner.com/list/MAG)".
Of particular interest is the "[Best Of](#directory-of-pc-tech-journal-best-of)" collection, a diskette that we had
to recreate from multiple ZIP archives. It includes this note from the magazine's editors:
THE BEST OF PC TECH JOURNAL DISKETTE
------------------------------------
This disk is a compilation of programs that have appeared in PC
Tech Journal over the years. The diskette will spare you the
task of typing long listings from the magazine, thus leaving you
with time for more productive uses of the material published in
PC Tech Journal.
The diskette contains two subdirectories, UTILITY and HPMETRIC,
in which you will find the programs. Each directory also
includes the file CONTENTS, which identifies each program and
provides a reference to the issue of PC Tech Journal in which it
first appeared. The CONTENTS files are in ASCII text format
suitable for TYPEing or PRINTing. The file WARRANTY contains the
limited warranty and copyright notice.
Thank you for subscribing to PC Tech Journal. We hope this
diskette and your future issues of the PC Tech Journal will be a
valuable and useful addition to your library.
Julie Anderson Will Fastie
Editor Editorial Director
We've gone through those ZIP archives, filtered out the duplicates, organized them chronologically, and then put
their contents onto diskette images that you can easily "Load" and "Save" to and from a PCjs machine.
