Walnut Creek used to host thousands of pieces of shareware for various 
platforms through their ftp.cdrom.com FTP server, including the Simtel archives
and the Aminet Amiga software archives. Periodically, "shovelware" CD-ROMs
would be produced to provide users with an OS-centric collection of useful
applications without having to download them all individually.

This particular release of the Walnut Creek CP/M archive was release 16 years
ago today and includes many pieces of hard-to-find shareware and freeware for
the CP/M operating system. Along with CP/M software, there are a few DOS 
utilities for browsing and decompressing the archive files featured on the CD.

Unfortunately, if you're not using DOS, most modern compression suites don't
support the old archive formats used with this release. Many of them are LBR
archives, and if you're running a *NIX system, can be decompressed with lbrate:

Jeff Jonas of FERRETRONIX was kind enough to archive the entire CD-ROM for me
to help in my search of a particular piece of software for the Kaypro II.
