Everything is updated at https://github.com/adzm/xz_win now You can also grab them directly at http://adzm.net/xz_win/ including a patch that fixes all warnings in MSVC2013 when building: http://adzm.net/xz_win/msvc2013_warnings.patch > > -- > Lasse Collin | IRC: Larhzu @ IRCnet & Freenode > -- - Adam D.
