Yes. Those files are really meant as a source for installers of KVASD but there is no problem with individual users retrieving KVASD from there manually.

For KVASD v1.12 Joe K1JT has built versions for the latest Intel Mac OS-X, Intel Linux 32 & 64-bit and ARM Linux as well as the MS Windows version. > > What is the difference between version 1.11 and 1.12??? V1.12 add s a feature required by the latest WSJT-X versions, it is fully backwards compatible and should run with older versions of WSJT-X, WSJT and MAP65. The changes allow the file kvasd.dat that it uses fro inter-process communications to be located anywhere in the file system thereby allowing KVASD to be installed into a non-writeable directory and to be run from a non-writeable CWD.
I believe there is also a bugfix in the v1.12 version. > > Lastly, as a FYI, the WSJTX 1.4 builds from the Fedora Copr Repository > worked perfectly in Fedora FC21 with the 32 bit version of KVASD, and the > required WSJTX 1.4 dependencies installed. The reason for the for the 64-bit version of KVASD on Linux is that most Linux 64-bit distributions do not include support for 32-bit programs as standard, so with it extra dependencies such as the 32-bit Fortran and C libraries are no longer needed on 64-bit Linux systems. > > 73, John, N1ISA 73 Bill G4WJS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
