I usually download the small utilities that make life with MS-DOS
easy.  There are hundreds of them from printing utilities, to disk
utilities, to calendar programs, etc. etc. etc.

The software is usually compressed using the common BBS compression 
programs such as ZIP, ARC, PAK.  The unzippers/unarcers/unpakers are
readily available on BBS's.

BTW, I don't use the BBS's that charge, i usually call the hundreds
of private, local BBS's that are absolutely free.  I would look into
the Boards in your local area (no telephone tolls).  They can be
very useful.
