Interesting help

Not exactly what you're after, I'll keep looking and add another post if I find it. Most links to it that I've found either haven't been archived or deleted? maybe - it seems strange to find so many links yet none are archived!

You might have more luck asking around Japanese VRML or Community Place related groups in case someone still has a copy.
Keep an eye on this thread in case I find something more substantial. It would be a shame to lose this part of VRML history.

 MeditateOrDie, I certainly am impressed by your ability to search for archived material no matter what field it comes from.
You are the faq forum master archivist!
'It would be a shame to lose this part of VRML history.'
That's kind of true, and I wouldn't be trying to find CPC if it wasn't. I'll add this link: https://web-beta.archive.org/web/*/http://www.sony.co.jp:80/Products/CommunityPlace/data/*
it has all 5 CP softwares, EXCEPT FOR CPConductor- the authoring tool which i need for compatibility purposes!
And note, no one has a copy! Creators like Dr Rodger Lea don't have it, and I'm sure Sony guys aren't gonna respond no matter what.
other people have already been asked, so it's now a matter of waiting to see who replies with good news.
Thanks for all the work- the ece.uwaterloo.ca:80/~broehl/vrml/lnvj/cdrom/software/sony/ has long been known among us but is not enough, I'm afraid.
