It would be nice, and I think they would be willing to do so, if the packages could be found.

Just to add, their product was highly portable - they did releases for UNIX systems (SunOS, AIX, etc.) and other ports as well, such as AmigaOS.

I seem to recall that DAVE was once a popular product - or at least highly advertised.
