    Hi,

    What gives here.

    I was under the assumption that a GPL program requires the source to be released.

    Whats the point in using a GPL license otherwise.  You may as well use a FREEWARE type license?

    Thanks
    Jason

      DISREGARD MESSAGE.

      The distribution was not unzipping correctly.  I would suggest renaming to different tarball extension of tar.gz so that Windows programs know there is a tar underneath.

      Thanks
      Jason

      The .tgz extension works OK with the version of WinZip I use at work, however somewhere in the FScript docs it does mention that you may need to do some extra work in Windows.

      FScriptME is currently a source only release so not seeing any source is a bad sign for sure....
