Thank you very much! It's nice to get more old MS apps. We need more! Scans would also be greatly appreciated. Well appreciated :)

Just saying, but PNG scans are preferred, saying this as the picture you included is JPEG.
Don't visit much, if ever.

Looking to contact me? Shoot me a PM on reddit (here).

Thank you all for your support, but after a deep review, this file seems to come from WinWorld and not from my own dumps, so I decided to delete the link to avoid trouble. Even after having a bad first impression here (see my message below), Battler was kind enough (via PM) to help me overcome all this.

Thank you very much for this too. Just as with the Windows 3.1, I am going to upload this to the FTP, crediting you.

Thanks.
But I think your version is already uploaded a few month ago.

I uploaded same Works 2.0a (Gateway 2000) for Windows ago.

Except Disk1, Disk 2-4 are identical to Retail full.

- PCollector: I got word that the releases actually came from WinWorldPC and you are trying to pass them off as your own, allegedly lost in flood damage. If this is true (and I have reason to believe it is), you're kindly asked to stop because it's completely dishonest behavior. And if you do it again, I am going to Ban you immediately. Have I been clear?

At least your uploaded one already exists on WinWorld.
If it was uploaded on WW by your own ago, there is no problem.
But if not (If you downloaded it from WW and offer it on here only), you had better be careful why staff warned you not to do so.

- PCollector: Calm the heck down and stop being a child over this, seriously. If you disagree with what was said about you, please state so politely and don't make a scene like this. Also, you have just earned yourself a formal Warning for your behavior in your last post, because it's definitely not appropriate for this forum. That and it's up to you to convince us you are telling the truth.

Edit: Also, noone is disputing the fact you might have had a flooding. It does happen. But you claimed this specific floppy set was damaged in that flooding, and that's what is being disputed.
