I still mourn the passing of Vern Buerg's LIST.COM (and Buerg (d. 2009) himself) though the enhanced v1.81 version is still available for download if you search for it, it is 16-bit only, and would anyhow be not much use to me since I migrated to Linux 18 or so years ago.
A 32bit/64bit replacement is being worked on with a beta available ( http://www.bizer.com/zblist/ http://www.bizer.com/zblist/ ) but that seems to be windows only and closed.
The capabilities and performance of this tiny program were a source of wonder to me in my early dealings with the PC platform.
- ralphc 12y agoAhhhh, list.com! Used to use that all the time! When it became list.exe I thought "well there goes the neighborhood."
- jebblue 12y agoSame here, used list.com all the time back in the day.
- johansch 12y agoThis was one of those brilliant little and elegant software designs that solved a particular problem perfectly, and really could not be improved in a major way. It had reached its design zenith. I used it lots from the end of the 80s to the end of DOS in like 95-97.
