Maybe, if it's not alot of trouble, Wendell could make a place to put old, outdated, software, drivers etc.

Like a tree. Topcon, old drivers.

Ashtech solutions.

Little bug fixes. Such like.

Lisp routines. To make special leaders in acad 12, etc.

And, a General place.

Make a download, make a donation.

Just an idea.

Some of the older forgotten software, will become obsolete, but we will still have files that need that software.

In 20 yrs, being able to find such things will be invaluable. Some of it now.

Time rolls on.

Just an archive.

Nate

I think that’s a great idea.  

In addition to the s/w, include info, tips, and tricks.  Could start with links to key forum posts. Could be a full-fledged wiki.

There is a lot of information in the forum posts and I spend a lot of time searching through the posts to find it. Once I find it, I save it to my computer so I don’t need to search for it again.

Nice idea, but might conflict with copyright laws. Running a commercial website, I would not want to take that risk.

Anyone still using AutoCad 12 probably isn't on the internets.
