  How about:

* The Norton Utilities, Advanced Edition, v. 4.5
	About 4 or 5 of the things this does are, alone, worth the price of
	admission.  The batch file utilities are great, the control panel
	is great, NCD is great, the speed disk stuff, the "write FAT stuff"
	thing is great, the list goes on and on.
* The Norton Commander, v. 2.0
	Goodness, gracious, it's fun.
* DESQview 2.2 and QEMM 4.2 (or is it 4.3?)
	Actually, they're up to 2.2.2 right now, and I think 2.2.3 is due soon.
	A remarkable program, made better, cleaner, faster.
* Sprint 1.0.1
	A very remarkable program in many ways.  Not WYSIWIG, but more powerful
	than any WYSIWIG program yet (IMHO).
* Procomm Plus
	Came out early last year, and a fine program it is too.
