Great to see it is still available! I see it is v1.04 … is there any way that those of us with a v1.03 from (gosh) 2015 can get the updated version?

Hello Martin
The only change has been a change to the installation negating the requirement for an installation number, so it can be shipped via !Store. There is no material difference in the program at present.

I thought that might be the case … but if you do ever make other changes, please bear us long-standing users in mind!

Awesome news, great to hear it’s still alive, thanks a lot :)
