Shop Freeware site is no more

Observant members will notice that my signature no longer includes a reference to my freeware page of useful shop programs.

For several weeks the site has been unreachable.  An email to Scott Ripley, who managed the details of getting the site onto the interweb, went unanswered.

Hoping I was wrong I began checking obituaries and found, to my sorrow, that Scott had died on his 50th birthday earlier this year. 

I have no plans for resurrecting the site.  Most people are only interested in avoiding anything mathematical at any cost.

Of course, I still have copies of everything that was on the site.  If you need a particular program, contact me via email and I'll send you what you need.

Some of Us never had the chance. I got sick the first couple of weeks of math and the school did not have any make up classes. I took business classes instead. I cannot seem to make heads or tails of it now. I have a small machine shop and always have found a way around it. I have down loaded a copy of Your programs and thank You for them.

Would it still come up on something like archive.org? if so you could link to their page for it.

Edit, yep it is still all there and downloadable

Web archive works using Microsoft Edge but not Firefox 128.0.

Thanks very much for that, Jason.  I guessed it was archived somewhere but never thought it would be possible to download from the archived copy.  I just now downloaded one of the programs using Firefox 115.13.0 (64 bit) and got it to work using DosBox.
