I have found a whole bunch of sketchy sites claiming to offer it.  

I spent a bit of time trying to find a download page for it on the WayBack Machine (where I've had success finding old software before), but no luck whatsoever.  If someone knows the correct, base URL, that would help.  I guess the product moved around a lot over the years, and the current URLs for the parent companies don't go back far enough.

Thanks,
Erich
