Set of Filters and Patterns made by Nils Kokemohr for Photoshop.
Probably usable with other graphics other apps frequent those days.
The collections were offered as Shareware.
Works with Photoshop 5 and 4, presumably with lower versions as well.

The picts are free for personal non commercial usage.
First DL: 10.3 Panther Desktop Pictures
