Sting - where to download (older versions)

Post by fkarger »

Hi,

I am interested in testing older (< 28) versions of Sting.
Does anyone know where I can download them (preferably the source) ?

Best regards

Frank

Guess only lech himself will be able to help, if you want the sources too, I have some older compiles stored only.
Talkchess- search you will have tried on your own already too, the download- links to be found there don't work for the versions before Black Hole, at least not the ones I tried. Here

I found one still working (tried Windows only) for one of the latest versions before Black Hole, but already named AI too.
Lech normally reads here and it isn't long, since he wrote latest, regards
Peter.

Thank you Peter!
Unfortunately I also could not find anything further.
I hope that lech can help :)

I have many versions of Sting back to # 1 , only exes , no source codes. I have nowhere to upload them that I trust.
