I tried looking around some time ago, even spending a bunch of time
trawling through archive.org.  However, it was to no avail.

I communicated with someone at KI in about 2001-2003, I cannot
remember their name and I would have to fire up another system to go
through my mail from that time (although I can if you would like). I was
trying to get access to the Linux version of their software. They spoke to
me about releasing the source code. I did try to reach them again, but
again to no avail.
