I think it's on my 6 disc PowerTools/archives for Feb 1997.
RedHat 4.1 (x86, alpha, and Sparc plus FTP archives)
If anyone wants it :)
I miss that set. I paid ~$25 for it and it had more
software than I could ever need. But if I needed/
wanted to do something it was there. That where I
first found LyX. What a great tool even then.
