Charles,

Say what?

This package showed up at Mirrors.rcn.net yesterday, and I downloaded and 
installed it without incident or complaint using the previous-generation 
Setup.exe (2.125.2.10).

By the way, if this sort of dire warning is associated with a new release, 
shouldn't the announcement go out before the package itself?
