Legacy Fellow releases
We sometimes get asked about older releases of Fellow for DOS as well as WinFellow, for a variety of reasons.
Many of these are no longer readily available in a convenient location. For this reason, a new History section has been established on our website: https://petschau.github.io/WinFellow/history The history section is a work in progress, let us know if you notice any issues or factual mistakes within it. We also would like to ask for help: we no longer have access to all of the older releases, and would like to be able to preserve all of them for the future. If you have any Fellow versions that are listed as missing, it would be great if you could contact carfesh so that we can make them available on the website as well. Thank you and have fun revisiting these earlier versions! |

I might have the 0.3.6r1 release somewhere - probably on an old floppy or cd. Do you want me to look or is it just listed for reference, as it's a fork?
Too bad you have the 0.3.5 release - there goes one of my arguments to the missus about keeping old stuff around. "Honey, someone might need this in 30 years" :-) Last edited by sittingduck; 15 April 2024 at 09:56. |

Thank you - we had decided not to post the TFP 0.3.6r1 files, as Petter was not involved in the creation of it and it's code was not used as a basis for WinFellow, in contrast to the other versions that are mentioned; it was created by Torsten Gielbl and Dominik Schmidt.
We might have to contact them and see if it would be okay to include those releases. And tell the missus you never know, someone might still need those releases later Aside from a few stability issues those releases are perfectly usable today using DosBox; we were a little surprised ourselves that our backup discs are starting to fall apart and many of those were no longer readable. |

By the way, there were also more compatible C-variants of some releases, that emulated the CPU prefetch mechanism. These are also missing for the most part.
