Maybe someone who cares also watches this part of BE, because I find no links on ipsc.org for the webmaster or anyone in a similar position to directly email on the following issue:
On the WinMSS page, you have two ways of downloading the program. One is a link to a .exe file which downloads fine and (I'm guessing) resides on the same server as the website itself.
The other is as a .zip file, which is hosted on someone's angelfire.com space. Angelfire has implemented a policy of disallowing direct links to any of its customer's web component's from a direct external link, therefore the two .zip links are useless.
1) On the WinMSS page (for as long as I care to remember), the following text appears:
NOTE: WinMSS should function on Windows ME; Windows 2000; Windows XP; and, Windows 2003 without installing any additional software. Please feel free to contact us at: winmss@ipsc.org with your concerns, comments, and/or issues at any time.
2) Angelfire previously did not allow direct links to executable (.EXE) files, but would allow direct links to non-executable (e.g.: .ZIP) files.
What's the difference between the .exe's and the .zip's? I generally find load modules don't compress very well.See point # 2, above.

ipsc.org problem
in Computers, Cameras, and Electronic Devices of Any Kind

Having tried various "free" Internet services, only to be later frustrated for some reason or another, I have purchased an annual Internet service to host this software. It is in the works now and should be completed within a week.
Both software download sources will remain on other Internet servers, but will be directly downloadable from the IPSC.org web site:
http://www.ipsc.org/mss.htm
It is with regret that I cannot monitor all IPSC activity and/or postings here that relate to WinMSS, etc., but will always give any email received via my winmss@ipsc.org email account the due attention that it deserves...
