Because David wrote : "was abandoned by PPD"

And you just wrote :
"Yes. V/Win16 was superceded by V/Win32 in 1993. Support for V/Win16
ended a couple of years ago."

Is it really necessary to "recreate" forgotten documentation of outdated
product?
I would be happy to see some downloadable trial versions of your products. 
I think you still are a good company. Once people get taste of it and will be
able to  show it and demo it to decision makers in their companies, the may
perhaps buy it. Right now I am evaluating downloaded trial version of VisualAge
for Smalltalk. Maybe not the best, but the best I had possibility to try at
home. Guess what Smalltalk my clients will buy?
