I worded this wrong. I should have just used the word binaries.    I was
mixing the two, disregarding Source code.
I do know the difference.    I was looking for a program for windows. Not
being a programmer the header sentence says to use one of the following
binaries{ at least that is how I read it.   So i was asking when the
programs would be listed, not understanding that this was thmn and not
binaries.     I have what I need now so no need to go any further with
this..
Thank you for your help with this, ƒg
