I created an iso image of all software from the willow pond corporation. The software works on windows 3.1 up to windows xp.
You can get the iso image from [edit by Dominus: abandonware url removed]

"Abandonware" isn't something that exists as a legal definition. If the original publishers and rights holders have released the software into the public domain or otherwise relinquished their claim to the software in question, or if you have permission to distribute it, then you're cool as far as Vogons is concerned, but you have to clarify this and explain your case in order to link your archive here.

Nobody wants a DMCA hammer coming down.

Willow pond went out of business in 2000.

That doesn't matter. Thanks to Disney, copyright doesn't expire for much longer. Usually when a company goes out of business, their assets go to some other company. So someone owns that stuff.
And just to be clear, please do not post any more abandonware stuff here.
