JASC Paint Shop Pro 9.x updates
So a lot of my free time is spent ferreting out old software & finding updates & related pages that have graphics, info - whatever for history's sake.
Nothing left of the old JASC ftp site - although Archive.org has some really good saves (Thank you Archive.org!).
Anywho: If you google some, you may come up with this link:
http://www.corel.com/6763/psp_downloads/pub/update/
It appears on first glance that Corel out of the kindness of its heart, has kept available the updates for all the last pre-Corel versions of JASC software - Paint Shop Pro, Animation Shop and so on.
But the links don't work! You get a "Page Not Found" error! Damn!
Well, here's the fix. Take this link as an example:
http://www.corel.com/pub/update/Interna ... _Patch.exe
Replace http://www.corel.com/pub/update/
With http://www.corel.com/6763/psp_downloads/pub/update/
so that you end up with:
http://www.corel.com/6763/psp_downloads ... _Patch.exe
and it works!
Now that requires some copy/pasting in a text editor, but it sure is a miracle.
Also, I use "ReGet Deluxe" a now defunct Downloader. The big advantage is it preserves file dates. Which is almost as good as using an ftp client - which it also does - even spidering. Of course, ReGet relied on online licensing - which I had to um... "fix" because they no longer exist - but it's still a helluva good proggie.
