I have contacted Peter van Rossum about Scid continued. He isnt maintaining it anymore. So it was ok for me to do it. If everything is going ok mid july wont be a problem to hit Lenny. He suggested that the continued package should be named different than the one he uploaded. For serveral maintenance reasons. I have stripped Scid a little bit to overcome some copyright problems. I have removed the TB, books and engines from the source.

The Phalanx source which is included in the last scid version 3.6.24 didnt build correct. Havent had the time to search for the problem.
