The sourceforge page has been mentioned since march 2008 a couple of times.
I see that you posted around that time in this area. So you could have
known about it...

Yes I got them. But it would require me to find some time to look into
these matters, and give you an answer with substance. ;)

Maybe Scott can add the link to his monthly post, that would help the
readers of this area...

 WvV>> See the readme's.

I wouldn't call it buried. They are in a doc directory, so easy to spot... ;)

These registered functions weren't changed in that release. I didn't touch
the manual at all, just added the ReadMe.GPL.txt.

But I agree with you the archives with the binaries are a bit lean. That
could be inproved in a later release.


Bye, Wilfred.
