We found a last minute problem with the new Anarchie 3.6 that absolutely
had to be corrected. The version control system was waiting until the old
engine comes online, and as the old engine no longer exists, it's going to
be waiting for quite a while...
The updated Anarchie 3.6.1 is available from:
ftp://the.ausmac.net/pub/mac/Communication-SW/anarchie-36.hqx
The above URL is a permanent link - feel free to point links directly at
it. The old FTP link to download.com is no longer available.
Regards,
Andrew.
