I believe you can still get (buy) copies of the SIMTEL20 shareware/etc 
collection,
at least for MSDOS.

WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL was perhaps the very first shareware collection, 
designed
as a central repository for free CPM software for the army's use on 
their PCs.  A
rather good idea, started about 1982 or so, and decommissioned in 1993, 
at the
point where it had over 2Gbytes of files for CPM, MSDOS, and some 
others.
