Just saw this a minute ago and was surprised for sure. Everest is a really cool program.

I have "everesthome151.zip" here. Doubt it is the latest but I am not sure.

Thanks Snafu, maybe I'll take you up on that if no later version surfaces. Might have to troll the torrents to see what's out there...eeeeuuuwwwwww....

Also, I think maybe possibly could be I have a version that is pretty recent from when I built the kids machines...I hope I saved it. If I did, I'll spread the wealth.

What was the latest? I found version 2.20! If anyone is interested I can PM him/her the Internet address, not to cause problems for that site. :thumb:

Snafu, I'm good - I have 2.20 in the house. Thanks everybody :wave:

Thought: With so many hardware advances happening so quickly, it's only a matter of time before this discont. home edition gets buggy, or reports incorrect data at the least. I wonder if private community will hack and mod it as time goes...:scratch:

Doubtfull, if Sandra is still around. Hacking or modding it will furthermore get into some licensing issues - hence probably will not be for public consumption if it does get hacked.

Wonder what the position of Lavasys is about redistributing 2.20 actually ???

That license.txt file in the lavalys/everest folder has some strong legal jargon in it, from the beginning through section 1.3 I think especially pertains to what you may (section 1.2) and may not (section 1.3) do with it.

This seems to be the final blow to aida32/everest home --

See this post (http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/showpost.php?p=24783&postcount=8) from this thread (http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2678) - it was also the major reason for the demise of the memory contest as it was (besides the cheating :rolleyes: )
