There are demos for all of them in the /Demo subdirectories on Pitt, but they
are limited and i don't think theyr'e what you're looking for.
There are almost NO DOS-based readers for any of them, with one exception:
CHV.ZIP will view PGN files, however, and I'm sure it will run under DOS 5 - 

just ran it in a DesqView Window and it did fine... it's an old program, but
it works.  It's shareware, but the file date is 1993, so I don't know if it
still is.  It DOES, however, work!
Most of the files on Pitt exist as PGN files.  If you find something else you
want to convert to pgn, you can use:
CA2PGN.ZIP  Converts CA data to PGN
CB2PGN.ZIP  Converts CB data to PGN
NIC2PGN.EXE  Converts NICBase data to PGN files.
All of the above are available here for freq -- I will also put them on the
filebone again in case some folks don't have them.
Best regards,
Doug
