Hi Alexander,
	I've been to Tony's site to get Sword 2.5 several times and so far I
have no problem pulling over the ain.exe file.  The other files
sw25*.ain come over as text or if I right click they come over as non
ain archives.  I've tried to get into your site but it seems to be
forever not available.  Right now it's so slow I think that
communication has failed.  Is there any chance that you can upload to
simtel or is it still too early?

	Tony is working very hard at his new job and we are left hanging.

		Regards Ian
