Great news! This elminiates my question about offering those binaries
on my site altogether... just thought i could jump in here for those
who have older IBO apps and who don't have the CD. A little more
background: In our german ng, people asked questions with the undertone
of "i thought this was open source, so why do i have to buy the CD now
to get this build?" and i just wanted some clarification here... done.

I will put a link on my site, describing who may need this build and why.

Helen:
I hadn't thought about the SF download statistics, but that is a beating
argument to keep a single download location for the binaries.

thanx a lot everyone,
fingerman
