Lazarus,

Check out this site, http://www.oldversion.com   for older versions of many popular programs, including ZA. They have all the way back to version 2.0 of ZA. This is apparently a fairly common problem with many programs that have become bloated with new features over time.  I hope this helps.

Regards,
Dale Mentzer
