Perhaps each link should go instead to a wiki with some sort of download or links page for a given piece of software. Then if anyone finds a broken link but hunts down the correct link (or not) they can update the page accordingly. The same goes for new stuff such as "this updated version hosted not by the original author and mentioned only on a closed message board works on ARMini" and suchlike. ;-) -- Tim Hill of timil.com . . . * supports TFT & shares in cheaper ethical telecoms http://tjrh.eu/phone * has a genuine & spam-proof address for Usenet http://www.invalid.org.uk/ * accepts incoming email: substitute postmaster@ for tim@ ...
