That depends on whether you accept Wikipedia as a trustworthy source. People
write anything on there. 

When I unzip "GED3B3WC.ZIP" every looks genuine. There is "FILE_ID.DIZ",
"!readme.1st", DOS extender, full documentation, registration forms, installer.

On the other hand "golded-plus-1.1.5-20180707-win32-msvc2010.7z" just contains
3 executables in a suspicious "bin" directory, a "share" directory (which
makes no sense) and no documentation on how to get started. The main program
does not even run. 

The GitHub distribution looks dodgy.
