I just restored some backups from 1995, and am digging through that archive to see if I can pull out the multi-tasking libraries I wrote for Turbo Pascal under MS-DOS. No practical use, mostly nostalgia. I didn't document things as well is I should have, of course I was the only user, and had no thought that future me would be looking at it 27 years later.

Coincidentally, I was just looking at backups from my BBS from the same era. I wish I had a way to retrieve the data, assuming it's even still good. I remember using a parallel port driven magnetic tape drive to record them. Probably a device that tar(1) was originally designed for :) What medium did you use?
