  Actually, I still have the disks stored away 
*somewhere*... GeoWorks Ensemble 1.2 on 5¼" floppies, 
and the upgrade to Ensemble 2.0 on 3.5" floppies.  
Dunno if they're still any good or not though...  
(Anyone remember AOL 1.6 and earlier?)  
  Even though I could probably find the GeoWorks disks, 
given a week or so to search, I don't have any floppy 
drives on my present machine.

  Even if it were downloadable, it'd still mean I'd 
have to go back and remember all the stuff I've 
forgotten about DOS, and specifically all the little 
tricks to make GeoWorks play nice with DR-DOS/OpenDOS.  
(NewDeal was just the new name for GeoWorks Ensemble 
after initial split of the company.  "GeoWorks" went 
on to concentrate on PDA's and the like, while NewDeal 
was new name for the desktop variant.)
