- That's exactly it. When I went through the libraries prior to making the
- forum public, I deleted all files that were only executables, since they
- would not run on the July release. It was decided that leaving the other
- files there was the best compromise, since (1) we didn't port them all and
- (2) we didn't have the cycles to update them to build cleanly under the
- July release. The catalogs tell who uploaded the file, so you may want
- to contact them and see if there is a newer version available. You can send
- mail to compuserve IDs by replacing the comma with a period and appending
- @compuserve.com. i.e. my CIS ID, 76150,2536 becomes
- 76150.2536@compuserve.com
