I found this old software on a medium I don't recognize at my church. Does anyone know if this has value to anybody?

Started with the 8" bastards on a dedicated word processor (with a 12" CRT, green phospher glow, and typwriter style printer built right into the top of the unit!) that my dad had for medical filekeeping at his office.
It's been amazing watching storage tech from those to zip drives, and now, floppies of any kind are dying.
My daughter found a 3.5" floppy in a drawer a couple of years ago (she was 20) and went "What is this? It looks just like a 'Save' button!" :)
I hope you smacked her for that lol.
My parents first computer was 3 feet tall and cost $30,000. I liked to play frogger on it lmao.
