I am not here to go into a lengthy justification as to why I need the
older ones (damn, I just knew the answers would all be "but why would you
not just upgrade")
The point is, why are they not on the ftp sites anymore ?
I suspect there is no good reason for it at all - just a totally arbitrary
decision to remove things that didn't hurt anyone to keep around.
I think i am going to go remove all the faucet handles in my bathrooms.
Sound strange ? It is not any more of a pointless and arbitrary removal
of functionality than what was removed from the ftp sites.
