Hi Dave,

That is odd. There have been 247 downloads of the new PB version of Crafty SE,
and then 193 downloads of the pbbook file. Oddly only 4 downloads of the sound
pack.

You so far are the only one to say the pbbook file was corrupted. Probably just
an error..

I must admit this new version is _very_ popular currently. The version "normal"
Crafty 19.17 SE that Mike compiles has only had 831 downloads. The new version
has down 1/3 of that in two days. Remarkable.

Peter
