@Jimmyjam,

If you find that file and it is legal and free to distribute, please do upload it in here as well. May it help people with similar issues in the future as well.

This file exists only in the v6.0
You can find it on some Russian forum(s)

File is legal but i do not know whether he allows someone else to distribute his demo software or not.

I respect him and his work and therefore will not upload this file because i do not know whether he approves it or not.

Possible to reach and ask him if it's OK? (I'm not allowed inside MSFN) :problem:

I don't suppose there's a way to use emm386 to exclude that range is there?

I'm inclined to agree. I don't imagine he's given permission for anyone outside of himself and his distributor, and they don't make older versions available for download.

I don't understand a single word of Russian anyway so it would be a blind search that way.

No, it's far out of EMM386's reach for address exclusion.

It is not hard to find, they have hundreds of pages about Windows 98 SE.
Just use right key words and you'll find it. And google translate is your friend.

I don't give link because there are many different things that just not for the talk here. If you know what i mean...

Google "patchm.zip". The results from filewatcher.com are copies of the v6.0 demo with the Split8mb.exe

I, user.

Here is a part cache of the page found on Google:

REMOVED BY MODERATOR: Pictures and links. DUTCH LAW DOES NOT ALLOW HYPERLINKING TO WAREZ MATERIAL.

This looks like to be version 6.0 (demo):

REMOVED BY MODERATOR: Patchm.zip. THE AUTHOR DID NOT GIVE US PERMISSION TO HOST THE FILE AND TOLD US TO REMOVE IT.
REMOVED BY MODERATOR: SPLIT8MB.zip. THE AUTHOR DID NOT GIVE US PERMISSION TO HOST THE FILE AND TOLD US TO REMOVE IT.

As far as I can see in the license, there is no wording about prohibiting the redistribution of this demo software.

"rloew"'s own Web site! REMOVED BY MODERATOR: Hyperlink. DUTCH LAW DOES NOT ALLOW HYPERLINKING TO WAREZ MATERIAL. :lol:

I emailed him about allowing us to host the old demo version 6.0 (and split8mb). Although, his Web site looks extremely shady, hosted on some free hosting place. Not even a real domain. Asking money from people makes it look even more odd.

Who hosts a consulting firm "whatever" on a free hosting service, no domain name and nothing? And is using a Hotmail account?

Excuse my french but what a moron. It is pretty fucked up. The guy can't afford a $10 a year for a domain name?

Ha, ha, ha, not "shady", just 'minimalist' - to the extent that you could
probably view it in a DOS er, anything text browser without problems...
Well, x10hosting appears to be a country code second-level domain (ccSLD).
Hotmail? (shrug) It wouldn't surprize me if he's had that that hotmail
account since the nineties. Nowadays, if you are external to the U.S.A.,
(unlike him) you'd probably steer clear of using a U.S. based email server,
'U.S. company' owned email server; http://www.veooz.com/news/QHFwQ~F.html :problem:

Although you wouldn't think it by checking the WayBackMachine, his webpages
have been around for years - actually, wait, you can check that the geocities
link at least is recorded back in 2009.
Wait for assurance from others who will comment - he has a good reputation. :thumbup:
