VMS Mosaic 4.2

[Zane Healy]

It looks like I only have Mosaic v3.1 and v3.2.

This actively ties into another issue I’m observing.  Having gotten my VMS systems back online (virtualization is allowing me to bypass electrical and cooling demands), I’ve noticed that most of the places that had VMS freeware and Open Source online appear to be gone.  Is anyone trying to create an new archive?
