If you go to one of the sites listed on www.sdcorp.com for WP7, you can
find the pre-release of WP8, dated August 1998

ftp ftp.turbolinux.com
    /pub/linux/corelwp/wp8prelease/
(and read the README in that directory: you can either get a 38MB tar.gz
file, or several files less than 5MB each. Also note what it says about
unpacking the file[s]).

The directory /pub/linux/corelwp/ itself contains the files for WP7.

Hope this helpes someone!
Ted.
