A couple of weeks ago I downloaded a shell/desktop and excellent file
manager called "Desktop."

Unfortunately it seems to only in German, which I do not speak.  The website
is in English which is rather confusing.

Hopefully an English version will be developed (or maybe I just haven't
found it), because it has a desktop and shortcuts like win95 and a file
manager that is better than the Win3.11 FileManager.  On my 386 it starts up
almost instantly, particularly the file manager. Doesn't seem to like the
mono display on my 386 laptop though (scrollbars refuse to display properly).

And it is freeware.

Also someone was asking for the New Deal Office address:
http://www.newdeal.org.  Haven't checked the site out myself though.
