You can find it at the www.tapr.org site. Look under APRSSIG. The
latest version there is waprs246.zip, which is 1706528 bytes.

One way you could do it without a modem on your laptop is to download an
earlier version that is small enough to fit on a floppy (they are all
ZIP files), then download one of the update files. I think the only
complete (zipped) version of WinAPRS that will fit on a floppy is
version 2.2.0. You could then download something like w243updt.zip, and
uncompress it on your laptop. The update files are mainly just the
executable portion.
When you uncompress the program onto your laptop, don't give it a
specific directory to uncompress to. Just tell it to do it to C:\ and
the program will automatically create a WINAPRS directory. After you
download the updated file, move the older winaprs.exe file to another
directory to save it, then unzip the new winaprs.exe.

Since he specifically asked me, I'll reply too ... see above.
The pedantic answer is that it is ALL digital.
The other pedantic answer is that it is ALL analog.
However, he specifically asked what I thought:
There may be any number of digital or analog processing
steps in both transmitting and receiving. These do not matter.
It is the intent of the two parties communicating via radio
that matters. If they think of the data they exchange as
digital, then it is digital, that is, discrete values.
Simple when you think of it that way.

You can enter "display z" while in Cmd
Mode and the TNC will display the entire cmd list.

And of course you can demodulate all PSK31, CW and Pactor signals that
happen to be within the passband at the same time, provided their signal
strength is within a certain limited range.
(no worse than trying to copy any single narrowband signal using a receiver
with a passband that wide)
