I've been playing earlier versions quite in depth, and typically I built these from upstream sources. Most of the time, this worked without or only with minor modifications. Sadly, my spare time is very limited, so I fear I cannot help with checking data files. But if there are technical problems to solve, I'm happy to help out as far as I can and as my spare time admits. Just give me a ping on the ML. :) Cheers, Stefan.
