It's available from the ncbi anonymous ftp server:
ftp ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
login as:
anonymoous
use your Email ddress as your password, and
change directory (cd) to:
repository/carbbank
There you will find what you want, and I include the README
(readme27.ftp) below.

ReadMe27.ftp for CarbBank v. 2.7 and CCSD10
(IBM-PC-DOS, NCBI repository release, October 1994)
==============================================================
**************************************************************
Please NOTE:
Old versions of the CarbBank software were removed on 11 October
1994.
The newest releases of CarbBank (version 2.7) and the CCSD
(release 11) will be posted on the NCBI system on or before 14
October 1994.
**************************************************************
CarbBank is the database manager for the Complex Carbohydrate
Structure Database (CCSD). The CCSD contains a computer
representation of published complex carbohydrate sequences and
information about the source of the publication.
This file contains information that will enable you to determine
if CarbBank will run on your system.
This file also explains how to contact the CarbBank staff in case
you would like to obtain a printed copy of the software
instruction manual, get assistance in running the software, or
make comments about the software.
== A. Minimum System Requirements, PC DOS version ==
Fixed disk with at least 0.8 Mb free for CarbBank and a
local or networked cd-ROM drive or fixed disk
with 60 Mb free for the CCSD files
DOS MS or PC version 3.3 or higher
cd-ROM CarbBank and CCSD are available on PC-
compatible cd-ROM disks
expanded RAM will use up to 4 Mb of EMS RAM
system RAM minimum of 420-435 Kb DOS RAM free, depending
on the amount of EMS available
monitor/adaptor VGA color
config.SYS Files=20 or greater
Country code = 001, for non-U.S. computers
Code Page = 437, for non-U.S. computers
== B. Download and extract files ==
Use the ftp facilities to download the following files to your
computer. CarbBank can not be run from a read-only disk. You must
install files on a write-enabled fixed disk.
1. CBank27.exe Download to your local fixed disk (i.e.,
C:\CarbBank). CBank27.exe is a self-extracting
file that contains the CarbBank program files
(listed below) and the program manual. Extract
files by running the CBank27 program.
2. CCSD10.exe Download to local fixed disk or to network
fixed disk. CCSD10.exe is a self-extracting file
that contains the CCSD files (listed below).
Extract files by running the CCSD9 program.
3. Manual27.exe Download to local fixed disk. Manual27.exe is a self-
extracting file that contains sections of the
CarbBank manual in an encapsulated PostScript
format, so that you can print sections of the manual.
Run the Manual27 program to extract enclosed
files. Sections of the manual, stored in files
with an extension ".eps", are printed by copying
each file to your PostScript printer.
4. Readme27.ftp This file. Download to local fixed disk.
5. Read_EPS.me Information file about the Encapsulated PostScript
file that contains the CarbBank and CCSD manual.
== C. CarbBank files ==
List of CarbBank files that should be on fixed disk when you are
done extracting files:
CarbBank.exe executable program file
CarbBank.h27 help messages
CarbBank.z27 supplementary information for CarbBank
CarbBank.pif Windows 3.1 pif file for CarbBank
Carbb1.TTF True Type, Windows 3.1 font (see below)
Carbb2.TTF True Type, Windows 3.1 font (see below)
To start the CarbBank program from the DOS prompt,
type "CarbBank" then press the Return key.
== D. CCSD files ==
CarbBank can access the CCSD on a local or network drive.
CCSD files that should be on the fixed disk when you are
done extracting files:
CCSD10.C27 database file, holds variable-length records
CCSD10.PTR database file, holds pointers to records
CCSD10.IDX database Index file
== E. True Type Font Files ==
Carbb1.TTF and Carbb2.TTF are Windows 3.1 True Type fixed width
fonts. If you want to print CarbBank records with your Windows-
compatible word processor, use the Windows Font installer to make
these fonts available, then format CarbBank text as CarbBank
Courier.
