Legacy software safety

Old handheld applications are historically interesting, but unknown installers deserve caution.

Before opening an old installer

  1. Find the provenance: developer archive, trusted preservation project or documented physical media.
  2. Record a cryptographic hash and scan the file with current security tools.
  3. Use an emulator or isolated device with no personal accounts or network access.
  4. Back up the device before installing system utilities or display hacks.

What this archive does not host

We do not provide CAB, PRC, SIS, JAR or desktop installer files. A page on this site documents an old catalog route; it is not evidence that any similarly named download elsewhere is authentic.
