Sorry, if you consider Windows *anything* software there may have been
something available.

Very well. When the PPro came out, Linux was 32-bit, *BSD was 32-bit,
OS/2 was 32-bit, all of the commercial x86 *nix were 32-bit.

In fact, if you take Windows out of the equation, basically ALL
software that was around when the PPro was released was 32-bit. The
only 16-bit software still hanging around was some lingering Windows
stuff.
