    Rick-

    What is it that you no longer see? I just looked at the site. The XtrkCad download, and free registration key are showing.

    :confused:

    OK. Now I see that. Strange. I can't believe they'd dump the program. Surely it's a glitch on their end.

    If not, hope a bunch of folks have it saved on a disk.......

    :(

    I downloaded the program but did not make note of the free password code.

    Can someone post that here or will that break some kind of copyright rules?

    It's still on their website...

    Name: Open Registration
    Key: 248890010702

    By the way, if somebody needs the file, the filename is xtc32314.exe so you can search your computer for that file if somebody else needs it. I think I have the install file at home so I could probably e-mail if somebody needs it. It is now effectively freeware so I can't see how that would be illegal or unethical to share the file since it can't be downloaded.

    If any have a copy on disk, I'd love one... if it was open source, I don't see a copyright thing there.

    I just successfully downloaded it. I think the may have a bandwidth issue with so many of us trying to get it. I'd suggest checking back from time to time till you get it or I can email it if someone wants it. It's 1.35 woo woo woo.

    Thanks for the info espeeman and the download email Tad. Hotmail won't accept a full down load of the program even though it doesn't see virus's & my own outlook express won't accept attachments. Hotmail, however, did say it would accept zipped downloads, which Tad did.

    Thanks Doug,

    Rick,

    If you have issues again with emailing big files, try
    www.dropload.com

    It's free and it works! [​IMG]

    Rick, open source and freeware are not one and the same thing.... they dont provide ANY source code, just the executable, so its not open source like Linux etc.

    Just being a picky bast__..... sorry.

    Gonna go get me a copy.
