I bought a copy real inexpensively on ebay. Also, you may want to check out the other auction sites like yahoo,etc.

I've got it. Leave an e-mail address for me to contact you at, and I'll mail it to you. Free.

I've been searching for ages for that too! If it's no longer available, then I would guess no copyrights and it would be perfectly legit to offer to others. Anyway, if it's not too much trouble, I would greatly appreciate a copy also. I was really ticked when Metacreations abandoned their customers, I think that was a really low blow. I hope Curious Labs and Corel, etc. stick with us. My e-mail addy is in my profile here. Thanks so much.

Hmmm... "Abandonware" is a pretty shady area, well at least a shade of gray. Someone must own the rights. If no one bought the rights to this product, Viewpoint (is that what they're calling themselves now?) probably reatins ownership. I've included a link to a LEAGAL Abandonware sight that explains this a little more thoroughly. However... If someone should discover that this app has been released to the public domain, such as the case with the titles on the linked site, I Want a copy too!!! I've been tryin' to find this for positively forever. here's my email: fishslappin@hotmail.com

Whoa! Before this gets out of hand... I had offered to send the original program disc to 'doug', and that's all. I haven't used the program for over 2 years, and I remember it being kind of buggy even with the patch. The thing is, 'doug' hasn't responded to me with an address to mail it to, so at this point I'm not sure what to do about it. I've got 3 other people who want it, but I'm NOT making copies of it. My original intent was to give the original copy away, because I don't have it installed on any of my computers, and don't expect that I'm breaking any rules that way.
