     If a programmer doesn't keep old copies of his software for
     bug or code purposes or for pure nostaglia then too bad.  I
     keep old copies so I can support my old products even if
     they are 20 years old.  A good company will do that.  Some
     of the biggest do that with mega corporations who still
     support software going back to the ancient days of like 1991
     for example.  Its called in bussiness Goodwill.  Besides
     I still recall alot of aspects of the old versions so as long
     as theres at least 1 there is support for it.  There are
     also many old files and faqs on the older versions.  So ..there
     we go..
