I have boxes of disks that came with my AT&T 5300 and my 3B2, I'll take
a look through them and see what 3rd party stuff is in there. I know
that at least one of them was used for medical billing and has a bunch
of user data disks and backups that went with it.
Even on more recent Unixes like I demo'd, I haven't had much luck
finding Serious Business applications.
Winworldpc.com has a little, but I think that this stuff just didn't
stick around, or never made it off of install media.
Aside: I just barely got Adobe Acrobat working; CorelDRAW was a bust
though I'll beat on it some more along with WordPerfect. But these
aren't super exciting. I have a to-do to try to find sympathetic
contacts at Parametric and wherever Dassault Systems ended up to try to
get old Pro/Engineer and CATIA installers. Because those CAD programs
are truly impressive. CATIA was bleeding-edge at the time.
