It contained a handful of development content that wasn't intended to be shipped, including _Deluxe Paint II Enhanced_.\n\nI'll be writing up more on this, but for now, here is the archive. It is kept here for historical preservation.\n\n## The \\ALIASES Directory\n\n|Filename|My Best Guess|\n|--------|---|\n|`ALIASES/CDON.BAT`|Empty\n|`ALIASES/DP_PREFS`|Preferences file for Deluxe Paint\n|`ALIASES/ENV.BAT`|Shows which environments are available (see also WATCOM.BAT, MSC7.BAT, and SCUMMENV.BAT; [missing INTEL.BAT, apparently])\n|`ALIASES/FOO`|Empty\n|`ALIASES/GENERIC.BAT`|Seems to be a template to base other environments off of\n|`ALIASES/MSC6.BAT`|Environment setup for Microsoft C 6.0\n|`ALIASES/MSC7.BAT`|Environment setup for Microsoft C/C++ V7.0\n|`ALIASES/SCUMMENV.BAT`|Environment setup for SCUMM Projects (includes Monkey 1 Sega (Eng/JP), Fate of Atlantis (Sega/French))\n|`ALIASES/SDK.BAT`|Environment setup for Microsoft Windows SDK V3.1\n|`ALIASES/SETENV.BAT`|Calls the current config batch file, or tries to call environ.bat if it exists\n|`ALIASES/WATCOM.BAT`|Environment setup for Watcom C/386  \n\nThese seem to be DOS aliases used with a LOAD command.
