I have a copy of the old SciTech FTP.

Hello All,

I'm not sure if this is complete, but I remember wanting to grab as much as I could. For those of you unaware of what this is, it's basically all the tools from the company that wrote Display Doctor. A quick check reveals the SNAP SDK, licensed copy of Display Doctor, GLDirect, MGL, and some other things. Large archive.

MGL was used for the original release of WinQuake. Let me know what you guys think and I'll respond tomorrow with screenshots of file of the archive.

I'd like this

It's nice that people take the time to archive everything. Good work.

Okay, I'll provide links on Sunday. The Starbucks I'm at has horrible Wi-Fi speed.

Probably best to upload it to archive.org. To make sure the link doesn't go down like all RapidShare links (and others) did...

Did you end up uploading this anywhere?

I sincerely apologize. All my free time was consumed with leaving town and working. At this point, I would like to publicly share the folder of my Mediafire account and someone can download it and upload to the BA FTP (I don't have access). Sound reasonable?

[EDIT]
Okay, I sincerely apologize for the delay. Mediafire has changed the way their service works. No mass downloading for free accounts. All file by file. This service I uploaded it to will keep it for several days and will delete it after that. I think you guys/gals will be pleased with the archive. It has all of their products and its entirely legal.

Thank you for the Archive.org upload. My attention got pulled away from this.

Regarding the contents, it contains the version of the graphics SDK used for the original Quake engine. The engine did not depend on DirectDraw directly, it used the SciTech SDK. There are one (or more) revisions of the DJGPP that I believe were used to compile Quake for MS-DOS. What was it? 2.0? The SNAP SDK stuff is there along with the later audio framework. Considering their extensive involvement in computing history, I just knew I had to copy everything that I could.

On a side not, I also have what I believe is a complete copy of the now defunct Apple Development FTP. There is actually a Carbon SDK sample that views Quake 2 models.

I think it would be very nice if you could upload that FTP as well! It sounds interesting.
