Hi,
Don't know if any of you have ever obtained SPFLite from CNet (DownLoad.com), but if so, be advised that it will no longer be available from that site.
For years, the site accepted the standard shareware PAD file as the source for all the program information. You updated the bits of the PAD file for the new version and submitted it to them. But recently they have removed Upload.com (their companion site) which handled the PAD file.
Now they want what is basically a Web based email form to be completed where literally EVERYTHING about the product must be manually typed in. Name, Date, version, description, web URL addresses, attached snapshots and icons, cost, licensing, and on and on. Nothing from the previous version is retained, everything must be re-entered.
So I told them where they could put their email entry form and withdrew SPFLite from their site.
It will still be available from numerous other shareware sites, and most of them don't even need to be informed when I release a new version, they pick up the Pad file automatically from the Pad repository. Still the best site for correctness is www.SPFLite.com.
Just a FYI.
