Planet Source Code Jumbo Resource CDs

This post is to provide a link to the Planet Source Code files. The link is basically the Google Drive portion of an alt Gmail account that I seldom use. In fact, prior to this, I wasn't using the Google Drive portion at all. And now, these PSC files are all that's out there.

Just as an FYI, I worked with Shaggy Hiker and FunkyDexter to get this going, and to stay within the TOS of VBForums.

This is basically the files from all the following CD mounted disks from PSC:

• 1_2002.ISO
• 2_2002-2004.ISO
• 3_2004-2005.ISO
• 4_2005-2006.ISO
• 5_2007-2008.ISO
• 6_2008-2009.ISO
• 7_2009-2012.ISO

Regarding PSC uploads more recent than these, I've got no idea how to recover those. If someone does, I'd be delighted to include them with what I've got.

All of the PSC files within the mounted ISO files were converted to ZIP files. About 6 of the PSC files were corrupted, so those were not converted to ZIP files (and discarded).

Once this was done, all these ZIP files were scanned with Windows Defender. About 10 of the ZIP files were found to contain viruses. The specific files with viruses within the ZIP files were identified and deleted.

Then, all the ZIP files (and further nested ZIP files) were scanned for the existence of any of these file types:

• EXE
• DLL
• OLB
• OCX
• OCA
• OBJ
• EX_
• OC_
• DL_

And, in all cases, those were deleted from the ZIP files (and from nested ZIPs).

At this point, what remained was mostly source code files, and some TXT files, and various garbage files like LOG, TMP, VBW. etc.

Even having done all of this, I take no responsibility for any of the contents of any of these files. Use at your own discretion.

Also, as a further note, when downloading VB6 source code, if it's got a VBW file, it's always advisable to delete this file as it's not needed, and has a small potential for causing harm.

Also, as with any source code you download, it's advisable to visually peruse it to make sure it's not doing anything you'd rather not do.

Here's the link.

The Notes.txt file is basically another copy of the text in this post.

The ZipFileIndex.tsv and ZipFileIndex.xlsx are files that index all the ZIP files in the AllThePscZipFilesZipped.zip file.

There are three columns in these index files:

1. the ZIP file name
2. the title from the @PSC file within the ZIP file
3. the description from the @PSC file within the ZIP file

Just as an FYI, this represents 13,852 separate projects. However, many aren't worth much, but some of them are probably gems.
