Catalogs about everything and anything, details or not, at your wishes.
From folders to complete HDs, CDs/DVDs filled with all kinds of crap.
A very quick look at the site shows that it's a Windows based application. That, to me, would make a DOS abandonware collection "impure", as it would have to rely on more than DOS to run properly. You can call me a purist, but that's just me.

My collection is set up in such a way that all I have to do is copy the contents of my collection DVD to the root of a DOS installation (DOSBox or DOS in VM, etc.), reboot, and it's up and running. It includes a configured config.sys, autoexec.bat, QuickMenu, mouse driver, etc. Everything required to make it operate without any modification.
