The http://home.hccnet.nl/h.g.muller/installer.zip now contains
the most recent files of everything as I have it. If you decide on
another version number for WinBoard, the winboard.exe will have
to be replaced. (Mine says 4.4.0k.)

Perhaps we should cut out the PSWBTM subtree and then copy
this zip archive to the GNU site, and make it available through a
link from the main page as version for beta testers.

There also is a http://home.hccnet.nl/h.g.muller/winboard.zip on
my website, which is the bare 4.4.0k executable.

The http://home.hccnet.nl/h.g.muller/xboard_4.4.0~hgm-2_i386.deb
is now actually ~hgm-4, and includes the patch for the broken
Engine #i Settings... menu I made last night. If you already copied
an earlier ~hgm-2 to the GNU website, you hsould re-copy it.
