I love to see that my small shareware utility[1] that I uploaded to Simtel in 1997 still appears in the depths of Internet. Whenever I encounter an archive like that, I find comfort in searching for it, and seeing it "doing okay" in its own universe. :)

I lost the latest source code to that tool due to a lost backup, but the binaries keep on living.

Hah, same. A small shareware music visualizer I made in 1995 still lives on archive.org because it was on the cover disc of PC Format one month. The source code is long gone, but it was written in x86 assembler, so the binary is practically the source. I keep meaning to download it and crack the timeout on it to make it the full version :)

Oh wow. At first I thought this was a throwback to DM2, my favorite (at the time) Amiga 2-pane file manager.
