The official link for downloading, hosted somewhere on google, is
but I just noticed today that it is currently broken. It wasn't last time I needed to use it, but that has been a while.

Do any of you have any insight into what might be going wrong? Thanks,

I haven't tried compiling this but just an idea, have you tried asking one of the AIs like claude code to compile it?

Would you perhaps be willing to put the code up in github?

Hi Keith, I just downloaded the abox242.zip file from the page you mentioned. Unzipped it, and ran the exe. It all works fine. Perhaps you had difficulty with the download process? These are the steps:

After going to the download page, click on the abox242.zip file once. This opens a Google Drive page. Now click on the download icon in the upper left. This will download the zip. Finally with the zip on your Windows machine, right click and Extract All. The exe is inside and runs just fine. 

I also ran the zip through the Virustotal website, and all checks out fine there.


Regards, William

Is it still broken for you?
For me, sites.google.com pages and downloads there seem to be working right now.
The download files seems to be embedded folder from Google Drive:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wJaebUc5o9oquKIcphsRHdHN3Zgssqhu
what may come in handy in case Google Sites would happen to glitch (again).

Yeah, it is clearly working just fine, now. But when I posted, google
was giving a non-specific "error" page at that URL: temporary, whatever
the cause.
