Well, err umm... YEAH! Lemme think here... via deep thinking & process of
elimination, I've concluded that it must be YOU! After all, WE never do
anything wrong.

Go here:

 http://users.datarealm.com/xywwweb/

Right near the top of the page it says, in big letters:

     New Jumbo XyWWWeb.U2 [XYWEB119.ZIP] File
  Current Release: v119 (code refresh 15 September 2006)

-- right? If it doesn't, then refresh your browser cache. Or you made a local
copy of the website back in April and are accessing that instead -- or
something nutty like that.

Now, when you see the text above, click on the link on the first of those two
lines -- link says "XyWWWeb.U2 [XYWEB119.ZIP]". Download & Save the file in a
memorable location, like C:\ -- do NOT store it where you usually store such
files (possibly your system won't overwrite an older copy of the ZIP for some
reason -- do it my way this one time). Drop to DOS, and say:

 unzip32 -v C:\XYWEB119.ZIP
 (or "unzip" or "pkunzip", depending on your version of UnZIPper)

It should return:

Notice the 9/15/06 dates on U2 and INF... QUIT XyWrite. Extract those two
files from the ZIP:

 unzip32 C:\XYWEB119.ZIP *.INF
 unzip32 C:\XYWEB119.ZIP *.U2

replace old files in XyWrite dir, restart XyWrite, retest for dates...
