That was a bug in that version. One of the problems in creating a
runtime engine is resolving all the pathing issues so that all the
pieces know where each other are.

There is no subversion checkout information, so of course svn won't
update it.
If you want to stay current, you can check out the subversion
repositories, replacing that "dabo", "demo" and "ide" folders.

The exe is just the wrapper code. The bulk of the file is Python,
all the required Python libraries, wxPython, Dabo, the database
connectors, and a couple of other goodies that enable you to run Dabo
without having to install the dependencies. If you plan on doing more
than casually reviewing some of the stuff, you might want to consider
ditching the runtime engine approach, which is always behind the
times by definition, and install the dependencies. You can find
instructions at: http://dabodev.com/wiki/InstallationOnWindows

That's odd; I haven't had much traffic lately, and that's when I
usually get complaints about slowness (RoadRunner has a much slower
upload speed than download for residential accounts like mine).
