Sophisticated Rename became shareware and its price is only $19.95.
Old freeware releases will not be updated and supported anymore.

http://antol.msk.ru/soft/indexe.htm#sr

What is the last freeware version of this product? (1.50, 1.70, 1.??)

I found Sophisticated Rename v1.50, but have not found v1.70 or above,
do you know of any sources for v1.70 or above?

<http://www.alltheshareware.com/Sophisticated-Rename-Software-66994.html>
Offers a link for sr17.exe, but the request gets redirected to
<http://antol.msk.ru/dist/sr17.exe>, the authors home site, and when I
run the downloaded sr17.exe, I get a screen that reads:

"You tried to download Sophisticated Rename 1.7. Why didn't you
visit the author's website first? A new version has already been
released. Please go to http://antol.msk.ru/sr to download the
latest version of Sophisticated Rename."

With push-buttons labeled:

"Go to the site" and "No Thanks"

Sigh. Luckily I do not pay by the minute for my downloads any more!

All the best,
Bjorn Simonsen

From his webpage <http://antol.msk.ru/soft/sre.htm>:

"The software is provided as freeware. If you find the program
useful, you may assess its value yourself and send me the money.
Please feel free to contact me - see 'Help-About' window.

You can distribute the software without taking any kind of fee or
reward in return. You MAY NOT sell, rent or lease this program."

Same text found in the manual (sr-eng.htm), placed in the programs
home direcotery by the installer.

OK then, for the time being I've uploaded version
1.7 (15 Jun 2004 - 26 Aug 2004) here:
<http://rapidshare.de/files/1262499/sr17.exe.htm>


All the best,

Discovered last night that Zdnet now requires registration - of course
there's no guarantee that the DL link will work after you sign up.
arghhhhhh. . .

Thank you Bjorn.

Does someone want to host the file on a permanent basis?

speaking of which - DLExpert (PL2005)

http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/200...ET.php#0185-PW

The site is gone (http://www.yanew.com/english.htm) and download
locations are very thin on the ground - the *only* DL I have for version
0.99 is:

http://yesterday.cdpa.nsysu.edu.tw/ftp/dlexpert099.exe

Wilders has version 0.98 (FWIW - my preferred version)

http://www.wilders.org/HTMLobj-1630/dlexpert098.exe

Does anyone have other links to offer? I haven't checked the EULA) - if
distribution is permitted does someone want to host the file/files?

Susan

Tell me something I didn't know. Instead of simply removing the
freeware version from his site, so that any 3.party page linking to
the old freeware download on his site - will simply produce a 404 if
for the download, the author has instead created the above mentioned
dummy file - with the above mentioned "dummy" text. Let me put it this
way, he released a freeware app that many sites still promotes as
freeware and provide a download link for. Instead of simply removing
the app from his site, he provides the above mentioned dummy download.
Not nice. Not nice at all! Oh well, I'll just file his name under
"never buy anything from this guy". Have deleted his app from my
system now, don't trust anyone behaving like this. Oh well, life goes
on.

All the best,
Bjorn Simonsen

I can upload it and archive it. Either tonight or maybe tomorrow. I have it
installed and it looks to be a really nice tool.
