See this list.Quote:

Thanks for pointing me at this list; I hadn't seen it previously.
#47 is also not at risk of going dark anytime soon. :DQuote:

I need to download an old shared PSC code from the following link:
https://vbcoders.com/code/a-[-update-your-program-with-liveupdate-a_57136.html but the zipped file is 0kb...
Any chance to find it in one of repositories that some of you kindly share here? And if yes, please anyone can explain me how to find it?
Thanks in advance :)
Hi, I have updated the zip.Quote:

Keep in mind that the ZIP files of the submissions on these CDs are encrypted.
Also note that all the submissions were decrypted, unzipped and uploaded as separate source code repositories under PSC orgianization on github with a separate index repo.
cheers,

The PSC owner did not comment on the rest of the repository?

Have you checked post #249?
I have ABSOLUTELY no idea if this link can help you...but take a look at it anyway...it MAY include your source code
https://archive.org/details/PSC-JUMBO_RESOURCE_CD
EDIT---OOPS, that may be the exact same link as in #249......:-(

Unlikely to be in the "Jumbo resource" of 2012
Yes, thanks, I have searched everything I could find in the links. The only hope I have is that with over 2000 hits on the code, someone might still have it. Can't remember for sure but I think the zip was something like Games.zip with added numbers of course. The screenshot was swirling game pieces in the shape of an old pistol.Quote:

Hi @D.W. from PSC D.W. from PSC is offline you can share the sample source-code VB6.0 Process Revolution?Quote:

Lost a 34-foot RV, a 1930 Ford Roadster and and a tractor in that fire...but my wife and I made it out okay at about 2 AM--Thank God, and the kid that God sent from a few houses away who was remarkably awake at that time of the morning and ran and knocked on our door...we made it out with minutes to spare.
Yes, my desktop was no good any more, but at least I had several backups of projects/programs that did not burn (also had some, including my VB6 original disks, at work). Other than the Roadster, all else has been replaced since then (of course, I DO now own a 1934 Plymouth PE Coupe).
We now live in a bus converted to RV, a '75 GMC buffalo bus It will do until the rebuildQuote:

JFYI, had some time to upload original .zip files to each and every repo on PSC org on github.com from Elroy's AllTheZipFilesZipped (before deleting binaries) archive.
Now under each repo's releases tab you will find a release tagged Original ZIP containing the original submission w/ no files removed so might contain DLLs, binaries and/or other malicious content.
cheers,
</wqw>
Nice, I always find some new cool project every time someone bumps this thread :)
Good to have the original zips.
Thank you for bringing this old project (EVO Battle) back to my memory!Quote:

Just FYI, there are absolutely viruses in some of the executables of the original zip files.Quote:

The only thing a bit reassuring is that all the malware/viruses must so dated by now it is either non-functional (C&C servers taken down) or detected by virtually 100% of the anti-virus software. These would be like some ancient viruses they find nowadays in permafrost :-))

@wqweto
I noticed that some of my projects fail to read some files.
You probably need to place this "*.txt eol=crlf" in the file ".gitattributes"
For example, this project fails to load ".doll" files presumably for the same reason. (so maybe it works with "*.doll eol=crlf")
To read files line by line they uses:
Code:Open App.Path & "\" & Filename For Input As 1
Input #1, Var1
Input #1, Var2
...
PS
I partially understand gitattributes. Little knowledge
I usually use this gitattributes:
Code:# Auto detect text files and perform LF normalization
* text=auto
# Custom for Visual Studio
*.cs diff=csharp
*.sln merge=union
*.csproj merge=union
*.vbproj merge=union
*.fsproj merge=union
*.dbproj merge=union
*.ctx -diff
*.frx -diff
*.res -diff
*.RES -diff
*.bas eol=crlf
*.cls eol=crlf
*.ctl eol=crlf
*.frm eol=crlf
*.txt eol=crlf
*.vbp eol=crlf
# Standard to msysgit
*.doc diff=astextplain
*.DOC diff=astextplain
*.docx diff=astextplain
*.DOCX diff=astextplain
*.dot diff=astextplain
*.DOT diff=astextplain
*.pdf diff=astextplain
*.PDF diff=astextplain
*.rtf diff=astextplain
*.RTF diff=astextplain
Yes, I tried to mark unknown extensions as binary in .gitattributes so no crlf translation would happen but might have been unsuccessful.
Hopefully having the original .zip now would be useful escape hatch for situations like this.
Edit: Now I see it’s missing the “* binary” line — ooops!
Hi Wqweto,Quote:

So, I just launched into a couple of days work to remove all the executables, not really keeping track of where the viruses were.
And yeah, hopefully, as you say, all those viruses are so old that they can't cause much harm. But, it's always better to be safe than sorry ... and we should just re-compile if that's possible.
Where did you get fire-proof underwear?Quote:
