A comment on IMDB data .

When was that page last updated? Look at the machines/OSs referenced on it: OS/2, Acorn, Amiga, Win 95/98/NT!

I haven't seen the string 'ftp' mentioned on the same page so many times in years.

Hard to say. The page and the files both report recent timestamps.

The wayback machine saw the page in '96, has the windows version appearing between '97 and '00, and after that pretty much the only changes have been to the list of ftp servers.

Most of the tools probably aren't updated much (or at all) and the system is only maintained for the distribution of the data files.
