I see that the website for the Palmzip driver is no longer available.
I have also tried to reach out to Klaus Peichl on his email that he as responded me before.
This is the last known website for the PalmZIP: https://peichl.leute.server.de/peichl/palmzipe.htm
Anybody know anything about this?

According to the WaybackMachine the site was last seen February 27th 2024.
Is PalmZIP regarded as abandonware now?

Regarded by who? As far as vogons is concerned we don't care what users think. We care what is factual and as such there is no abandonware.
Ask the publisher/developer of the software and reference the copyright laws for your respective country.

I believe I have a copy of the demo program on my computer's Downloasd folder and can give it to you. I have a sourceforge.net page where I can upload it there. Be warned: my computers have viruses. 🙁 BTW, the program for which you're looking had spotty performance at best and didn't always work on a few PCs. Do you want it?

I have PalmZIP myself, and it works very well for me.
I made a Youtube video about it many years ago, and now i got a question where PalmZIP could be downloaded when the webpage is not online.
I dont want to share my licenced version of PalmZip if someone still has the ownership/copyright to it.
I have been communication with Klaus Peichl (author) before, but he is not responding to my email.

Hey Erik, all,

Here's Klaus. Sorry for the late respose.
Unfortunately my old webspace provider had stopped the service completely.
And it seems that my old e-mail provider blocks e-mails quite often without notifying sender or recipient.
I have finally moved my old home page to a new domain. The palmZIP section is now available here: http://www.klaus-peichl.de/palmzip.htm.
Let's see if the new URL survives longer than just 25 years this time 😉

Cheers,
Klaus
