    ml> same here... i pulled a win and lnx archive to look inside and was   
    ml> greeted with an installer in them which unarchives the contained mys   
    ml> archive... that's likely just a modified zip or rar format but it may be   
    ml> something quite custom...   
      
    BF>    Strange isn't it? I must admit that I'm no longer as active on   
    BF> SourceForge as I was when I joined eight years ago, but, from what   
    BF> I can remember, the complete, compilable source code was always

   only if the maintainer allowed for such, AFAIK...   
      
    BF>    If the entire package was available, I might very well have   
    BF> spent a few hours correcting the most obvious errors in the code,   
    BF> but as it is, I guess everyone will understand that I'm not really   
    BF> inclined to do so.   
      
   yeah... i know the feeling... plus you have to have a working Free Pascal   
   installation... it doesn't look like james is using Lazarus for his editor and   
   project maintence... if he were, i'd expect to find a lazarus project file in   
   git so that one only need to open that and then compile everything with one   
   click... i might play with it if i can find a decent git tool for w2k... i   
   have a svn tool but the git ones i looked at were horrendous to install and   
   use :(
