I am not here to go into a lengthy justification as to why I need the older ones (damn, I just knew the answers would all be "but why would you not just upgrade") The point is, why are they not on the ftp sites anymore ? I suspect there is no good reason for it at all - just a totally arbitrary decision to remove things that didn't hurt anyone to keep around. I think i am going to go remove all the faucet handles in my bathrooms. Sound strange ? It is not any more of a pointless and arbitrary removal of functionality than what was removed from the ftp sites.
