Argus 3.0.5.35 bug

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Michael,
Yes, I believe all released and development distros are/were all on the site ... possibly in an archive directory ... The odd distros are development code and the even are stable released code ... So ... whats up with looking at intermediate development code ... can’t imagine what you would be looking for ... can we help you with anything ???
