I know there's the Simtel archive, which has tons of old software for several systems, including Win 3.x.
Unfortunately Simtel has a habit of deleting things. :( UMICH doesn't have any Windows archive but they do have DOS and some others, most famous for their Macintosh stuff. The file I'm tyring to track down is viewlfn.zip and was uploaded to Simtel in 1996 by View Software Inc. It's the last version of their "Long Filenames for Windows 95 and Windows 3.1". It's the only software ever made that gives 100% compatable access to the Win95 VFAT long filename system to Windows 3.1x and 16bit apps running on Windows 95. Apparently Simtel deleted the file assuming it was "pirated", even though it was View Software that uploaded it. Search Google Groups to find the post from their tech support about uploading it. The company seems to have "evaporated" around 1996. I've found zero references dated later than that. My guess is they knew they were going out of business really soon and wanted everyone to have the latest update in an easy to get to place that would persist past the demise of the company. (Wouldn't it be nice if ALL software companies would do that, instead of trying to claim they never ever made/had/sold such a thing.) ===== It will be total Fandemonium!
