That style of URL is still public via typing but not listed on XY public site...though it is available in one other "place" that Don has allowed.serendipity wrote:I am able to go to the browser (IE) and type:

Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

OK, kind of false alarm. When you download the file on softpedia you just get the official 8.80.0000. So just somebody (who? why?) wrongly updated their version number display.

On a related note, I found this site http://www.techspot.com/downloads/4852-xyplorer.html where the vers listed is the rather old 8.00 from last June! Is this a valid site and if so, how do we get it up-to-date?

Ah, there are millions of out-dated software sites. They are just overworked robots...j_c_hallgren wrote:On a related note, I found this site http://www.techspot.com/downloads/4852-xyplorer.html where the vers listed is the rather old 8.00 from last June!
