Indeed.

"Abandonware" is a misleading term invented by people who either don't understand, or don't care about, other people's property rights.

I'm surprised the site hasn't gotten endless DMCA notices by now. ;)

Hmmm....

Do think about the legalities before downloading anything from that link.

Did anyone happen to come across the Ultrix media yet?   My google-fu is

Maybe we need a HECnet search-engine :)

their windows collection. They do have Word for UNIX though...

Oh really?   How bizarre.   What platform(s)?

Not sure.   I assume for Xenix.   I never got that far with it.

Hello!
More then likely. It was the one OS that Microsoft couldn't sell, and
can't remember doing so. In fact when it was running, I knew of only
one platform that successfully ran it. And I'm not going to name the
company who built it.


Dave stop doing that. I can see you from here. You know, that odd
looking car with its top up? Yes that is the one. Inside is a
gentleman with curly gray hair, and a very amused expression most
times, and a young lady who's bored out of her mind.

Hello!
You'd be surprised. There's a site who has nearly all of DesqView
available for download. There are, they admit large quantities of
items that they can not find and really want people to make available
to them.

Then there's a site over in Europe, it's a regular zoo of items out there.

Both of them are unconsciously siding with Sampsa.

Dave really stop doing that. I can see you from here. You know, that
odd looking car with its top up? Yes that is the one. Inside is a
gentleman with curly gray hair, and a very amused expression most
times, and a young lady who's now completely bored out of her mind.
