General
Pkzip 2.04g
The old DOS command line zip/unzip utility. Unfortunately this is in a zip format because geocities doesn't allow .exe files so it is up to you to unzip it with something else! Includes compress.bat (author unknown) that easily compresses a folder and saves it across multiple floppies.

Ghostscript/GSview

For plotting functions and data
Qbasic
Microsoft's free Basic interpreter for DOS. Great for learning programming! The syntax is the same as the modern Visual Basic for Windows.
(Clicking on this file will create a lot of files, most of which are unrelated to qbasic. You can delete them all except qbasic.exe and qbasic.hlp.)

A Linux-like environment for windows. Includes ports of popular unix apps and compilers (gcc,g77,g++,perl...)
