Not sure why he wanted it, but I know what I needed it for.

I enjoyed offering older DOS programs up for download for anyone, user or
not.  However, the companies that scan systems for files and then blacklist
them do not like older programs, especially ones that might be compressed
with PKLITE or some other process.

Those being available get flagged, then you start getting a bunch of
complaints that other sysops (who use these defense products on their
Windows machines) can no longer connect via binkp, and from users who can
no longer connect via even telnet.

That latter group will get an error pop-up from the product, so you know
what is causing it.  The companies, since you are not a customer of theirs,
are not very motivated to remove your info from their blacklists.
It is a real PITA.
