However, I don't know anything about the currently available code
that you have to compile and just wonder if someone's still out there
who either knows where a clean install of the last real version could
be obtained or if my best bet is to start digging around and try to
find one of the old IDE drives that I've stowed away that may still
have it on there. ..might have to dig up some sort of external
adapter to even connect the thing to look at it.
Greetings.Thank you for the direction to start towards! I even found the newer incarnations there on the same site. The next task I think will be to get an appropriate DOS situation running that I can install into.

searches just now for terms like "download geos" and "download pc geos"
and found a number of sites purporting to offer it for download. For example, there's <https://winworldpc.com/product/geos/> which has disk images for GeoWorks Pro 1.2 and GeoWorks Ensemble 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and
2.0, as well as the manual for GeoWorks Pro 1.2.

Back in it's day this thing could actually crank out some
productivity that was useful for some real world tasks that it got a
lot of use out of.. until it was kicked to the curb as Windows took
over and "Full-scale Solutions" came with a much larger pricetag.
