There is a general ftp list with software for all kinds of machines 
and operating systems.  Allthought this list is not always up-to-date 
(cica doesn't show windows progs), but I find it quite usefull.  
Here's how to get it:
1)	FTP it from pilot.njin.net [128.6.7.38] (anonymous) file ftp.list
2)	Distributed via newsgroups comp.sources.wanted and comp.misc

My findings are that if you want windows 3.0 programs the best and 
only place is cica.cica.indiana.edu in the pub/pc/win3 directory.

Good luck.
