There are now 2 sites for downloading. 1 in france and 1 in the us : france: http://bunny.ensea.fr/Pages_Perso/Cedric_Joulain/sword.web/home.html us: http://www.iquest.net/~cworley/sword.web/home.html 2. NO, there is no FTP download available. This is *not* my fault. It seems that most FTP providers (simtel...) don't want archives with 32-bit .exe in it (because of potential 32-bit viruses and no 32-bit virus-scanner available). So I could only distribute source code, which is not reasonable for a quick installation of SWORD. If someone have a FTP site with about 8Mo free, please let me know, I will be pleased to upload SWORD there !! :-) I hope most questions will find here answers. Sincerely, Eric NICOLAS
