   Hi Marceline!   
      
   14 Mar 2021 17:03, from Marceline Jones -> RICHARD MENEDETTER:   
      
    MJ>> How are people supposed to know where the official sources are?   
    RM>> As I already written in a message to you.   
    RM>> One way is to google golded, which will lead you to the Wikipedia   
    RM>> page. And there you find this info:   
    RM>> Website github.com/golded-plus/golded-plus/   
    RM>> Another way is asking here.   
    RM>> I guess by now you should know where to find it!   
    MJ> That depends on whether you accept Wikipedia as a trustworthy source.   
    MJ> People write anything on there.   
      
   You have seen the other way, asking here.   
   And you did receive an answer.   
   And that answer is the same as is written on Wikipedia.   
      
    MJ> When I unzip "GED3B3WC.ZIP" every looks genuine. There is   
    MJ> "FILE_ID.DIZ", "!readme.1st", DOS extender, full documentation,   
    MJ> registration forms, installer.   
      
    MJ> On the other hand "golded-plus-1.1.5-20180707-win32-msvc2010.7z" just   
    MJ> contains 3 executables in a suspicious "bin" directory, a "share"   
    MJ> directory (which makes no sense) and no documentation on how to get   
    MJ> started. The main program does not even run.   
      
    MJ> The GitHub distribution looks dodgy.   
      
   If it looks dodgy to you then do not use it.   
   You have the free choice.
