The above definitely would be useful. Before I acquired my Mathematica for OS/2
And I would definitely be interested in Mathematica for OS/2 !! A few years of looking on eBay did not produce any result for Mathematica :/
there was a site that was asking nearly 1,000 U.S. dollars for the Maple 4 product. Although reviews indicated that Maple 4 was a poorly integrated rushed port to the OS/2 platform --from the WinXX port code-- it never became widely available, that I know.
Was it this site:
http://www.emsps.com/oldtools/ ? They have outrageously high prices. Not accounting for the fact that they also did snipe some eBay auctions to resell the software at a much higher price... (they got me once...)
Subsequently, I found out that Odin could run the WinXX Maple 4 mathematical software but Mathematica executed natively on OS/2, nonetheless.
As for Maple, I contacted the Maplesoft customer service some time ago. Their answer was that if I bought the latest Maple for Windows (~$120 with student price), I would be allowed to use Maple 4 for OS/2.
* Is there anyone out there in a position to prosecute?
M$ would certainly be in such a position if I upload PMWord, PMExcel or the old compilers...
Maybe a good thing would be to ask the owners of the Vetusware website. Their website is dedicated to abandonware and they have quite a lot of stuff available.
As a curiosity; Roughly speaking, what are the combined, (total), sizes of these programs?
Hum *roughly* 45GB... so the best 'upload' method is certainly to send Kim a BluRay with almost eveything on it
