TECH: where can one get old software programs?

[Rena Deutsch <renadeutsch@WORLDNET.ATT.NET>]

We just got a donation of some old 386 computers which were fairly gutted
(but that's another story).  One of the teachers who got one is looking for
some software for it.  We have an old copy of Windows 3.1 which we are
converting to 3 1/2 inch floppy disks (!). A few years back, I read, in
some book about building your own computers, about a company that sells
older versions of software.  Does anyone know of any of these types of
companies? Or, any other suggestons (I realize we could probably find a
copy of an old word processing program by going to garage sales and the
like, but we don't have many garages in NYC)
