Microsoft Select Application Pool

I don't think that max1zzz's server have these. I will upload it soon...

The mediafire links are broken. Can you re-upload these files?

Yes, I probably should re-upload Disk4 to Mediafire, if nobody kept the missing part.
Problem is, I did not keep the chunks so I would have to remake the whole thing.
Second, Mediafire drops files at will, so I´m not too fond anymore of uploading things there.

Unfortunately Knez´s server is down ATM. The files are save and will be available again as soon as a replacement box is up and running.
You may have noticed, that Knez was asking for help for the new server.

Did you check whether somebody copied the files on wired maybe?

Edit: uploading...done.
Grab it before its dropped again.

I tried fixing the links above, the whole bunch should be here: http://www.mediafire.com/?wva5sp6z1cs9e
If MF fails at all, I would like to point you to Knez´s Hotline/Wired server, available via http://www.macdomain.org/index.php
The disks are all there, among other interesting stuff, even unchopped.

As MF is dropping files occasionally, the six disk image files are also hosted here on the hotline server:

Would this do Mike?

Uh-oh an OS X proprietary zip file! Quickly sorted --> PearPC & Stuffit to the rescue

Many thanks for this. It is in excellent shape, all disk images are perfect. I've wanted a working copy of this database for years, literally. Thanks again.

The only one out of this entire bunch I would like (I already have Office 4.2) is "...US: - Microsoft FoxPro 2.6a".
I acquired a boxed set of floppies for this (including manuals), long after this app was out of circulation. One of the install floppies was fubar, rendering the entire set useless... sigh.

A great upload! However, I get an error message when trying to download segment 2 of disc 4.

Monumental upload -- I have given this post 5 stars, but would like to give it 6 (ala Spinal Tap)!

I think it depends on what is being compressed. So for SSW 7 and earlier we try to use Stuffit v4 or earlier, although I've used v5.5 and never had any complaints.
After SSW 7 I think we try to use Stuffit v5.5 compatible versions. So you can use Stuffit v7 but open Preferences and change the Stuffing Preference from "Better Compression" to"Faster Compression" to get a Stuffit v5.5 compatible file.

In reality, no-one will have a rant if it's a later version, one of us will download it, expand, re-compress it and re-upload it. There may be a few groans if it's something like Stuffit v16 (v18 by the time you read this)

@xy

I've tried StuffIt Windows 9, StuffIt Expander 4.0.1 or StuffIt Expander 5.5, works. Did you downgrade to 6.5?

if you're having trouble, please try using GNU ddrescue in Linux or OS X. After compiling it, use it like this:

ddrescue -v -r N /dev/rdiskZ path/to/outputfile.img path/to/outputfile.log

In Linux, also add the -d option (ddrescue -v -d -r N ...)

N is the number of times to retry a bad sector and Z is the disk ID. You can find this out by running df when the disk is mounted. Make sure you use the main disk (/dev/diskZ), not the partition (/dev/diskZrY). This is a way to image disks with additional data, but I'm not sure if it works for CD-DA. There, using EAC or XLD is probably better.
Make sure you unmount the disk in Disk Utility (but do not eject) before using ddrescue.

ddrescue can be interrupted, and it will use the log to resume where it left off.

Good luck recovering flaky disks! (CDs, hard disks or others

ddrescue produces raw images, which are exactly the same as '.iso' format. Be careful not to modify them by mistake!

grrr. I'll add them at the bottom. The silly server doesn't let me delete the old links.

Inside the Microsoft Select Help, there is the full contents of Microsoft Select Application Pool, mostly PC content (which is fit to my sub-archive). Do you have the rest of them?

I downloaded Disc 2 again just in case you'd changed it since. You can see in these pics what I mean:

http://is.gd/ke1ws

(I know it looks like I'm being picky here but it's always worth trying to get rare stuff like this imaged correctly for preservation). I DO appreciate the effort

Thanks for this immense effort 24bit, it's a rare piece of software and a well-detailed page.

Thanks for persevering 24bit. These are a great addition!

I noticed Disc 2 seems to be modified. Were you having trouble copying that one?

Is disk0 working at all or is it a crippled image like disk2+3 have been?
I must admit, I did not try.

@bertyboy
5 ISO discs in all. Worked when I tried (obviously), maybe something has changed since then.
They're also available on Pandora (v1.3.4. Wired Server) by now.

Am I missing something ? the link for the first disc is the same link as for the first part of the second disc.

Are there 5 discs or 6 ?

Above are some new links, hoping they will work this time!

Making new ones tonight. I did disk2 two times and always got that small file.
No idea what might have gone wrong.

24bit, Disc 2 and 3 are broken, please replace with the new one.
