I was also looking for even older releases than the 1.11.* series of
releases.

I had already tested that, but failed in mysterious ways. Sometimes
I seemed to have to login again, and again .... (for example with
the link you mentioned above).

I now tried to do the same operaration in Internet Explorer, and now
it worked and I can see the instructions you referred to.
(Previously I ran Opera (with cookies enabled !!!) )

Strange ...

Thanks for the help,
now I can at least read the instructions ;)
