Hi, I'm trying to build up a nice collection of almost museum editions of all the sw's in market... I've managed to get hold of quite a few VERY old dos games and applications and now am seeking Autodesk Animator 2D - the one that used DOS4GW to run in Protected Mode... anyone still has copies of it ? Another one I'm looking for is Paint Shop v1-4 - the precursors to our Paint Shop Pro today...If anyone has either of them please post back... It'd be a great favor...Thanks
