Hi. I just wanted to let you know that I don't know how long the files I told you about yesterday will stay up there for. I think that after a while they are automatically deleted. If you go to download 1 or both of them and they are not there any more then let me know and I will put them up again for you and tell you the new download links because they will change if I need to put the files up again.
