The recordings include original programs, rebuilt executables, and demonstrations with reconstructed assets. Each project page explains what can be seen and heard, so the recordings remain understandable even when a visitor does not run the software.
The material also includes an early website carrying UNDP and SDNP identities. Its network context is explored in Networks Before the Web; those identities remain a thread for further research into the network’s history.

AH’s Text Mode Graphics Library
A small browser reconstruction of the collection’s text-mode graphing idea. Enter a BASIC-like equation and the display plots it using the same character-grid vocabulary: axes, points, and colored traces.
The plotter accepts arithmetic, x, and common Math functions such as sin, cos, tan, sqrt, abs, and log.
