    Download it here.  See Download Agreement
  • REGISTRATION. Some people are having registration problems - The workaround is to ensure that only characters [a..z],[0..9] are used in the registration details.
  • SORTING. Sorting of columns on the local file-system may not always work - download next version when available.
  • UPLOADING. There is a rare problem with uploading files where only the 1st file is sent - the workaround is to drag files from a Windows Explorer window.  This and other Win88 issues are fixed in the next version.
