The NeXTStep 3.3 I use to boot to cd-rom has gone corrupt, is there some way to get a copy...if you need to charge $$ thats fine. Please respond. I also need WordPerfect and Fonts plus any desktop publishing software etc.
Mathematica etc.

The image for the boot disk is available online (somewhere) but as for Word Perfect and Mathamatica, You might have to look around. Heck, at one time I swear I saw someone torrenting NeXTSTEP software (but it has since been taken down).

Seems to me that so far all places that 'do' have the floppy boot image have there fills corrupt. When I click to download a screen comes up with gibberish. What's next at this point?

You are doing it wrong...

trust me the Apple files are good, what is happening is your browser thinks that it can understand the files.

Just right click the links and download them.  Or use wget.
