PRC-Tools tells its users to point setup.exe at http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/install/ (i.e. our Sourceforge *website*) and then uses HTTP redirects therein to map whatever collective hallucination we'd like setup.exe to see into the reality of the Sourceforge file release system. For us, it's pretty simple: .../htdocs/install/.htaccess: RedirectMatch install/(.*[^/].*/.*) http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$1 John "server munging trumps setup munging"
