I was on that site just now, on the separate page about your program too.
This is a good Russian antiwarez site, your personal page on this site
has the link with your own site, I can download only one package
with the licence and the source.
Yes, the package is renamed, but it is due to repacking with the Rar
archiver only, I think.
There is the pointing to author : Juergen Luethje.
All right, I think.
Site is:
http://www.wincmd.ru/
Your personal page is:

Don't worry be just happy!
