It's possible that Lokasoft have other Gandalf results in this time. 02. The Gandalf 5.1 CD is available a short time Gambit-Soft have bigger problems. Perhaps Lokasoft have this information before other have the information and made Gandalf available for us because the Gambit-Soft Gandalf CD with vesion 4.32 is a short time after the Lokasoft Gandalf 5.0 CD not longer available. If so, Lokasoft made a good work for the Gandalf fans. 03. Different problems are reported and Lokasoft made an update. Gandalf 5.1! The update comes for Gandalf !! 04. Maybe Steen have seen that the Gandalf 5.0, 5.1 version isn't clearly better as Gandalf 6.0 and develops the newer version with a short group of testers a long time. I know Steen, he give an updates only he is sure that the version is better. Now the newer version 6.0 is in a short time available after a work of two years. Why, Steen, Lokasoft should be make an update for the two years old Gandalf 5.0 / 5.1 CD? This isn't logical. But I hope Gandalf 4.32f-h and Gandalf 5.0-5.1 versions are on the Lokasoft CD. So the buyers have the older Gandalf versions all in one. If Steen or Lokaosft don't have the older version I can send the older files from the WB Edition CDs. Very important for me that the older work is today available because the versions 4.32f-h are very good and the Gandalf fans have all in one with a clear stronger version on one CD and all persons are happy.
