Great idea, but how can one get their hands on this software nowadays? I can only assume it's not sold anywhere?

You can still purchase it, but it's a lot of hoops to jump through!

There is still a community (apparently mostly paralegals) who actively use it and answer questions, e.g. http://wpdos.org and https://www.wpuniverse.com/

Odd, it works for me.

It's also an odd little page. It includes directions to buy it, if you already have a copy. If you don't have a copy, it includes some details on how to use eBay.
