Looking for Pre8 (exe only)

Post #1by mk » 25.05.2004, 17:44

I don't want to download 11MB on modem. And there's only previous version on Chris page. Maybe someone could put the file on a website?
TIA

lol. Personally I've done that with modem every single time a new pre-version has come up; its well worth the wait for me.

Chis normally provides an exe-only file when only the code has changed. When supporting files (.dat, .ssc, etc.) have been changed, he does not provide an exe-only file. The current pre-release includes many changed files, so an exe-only install might not even function correctly with support files from a previous release.
