I'm probably (just) a dimwit, but...

I grabbed the "EXE" from "Binaries" and it won't run... it just says "find a version for your OS". (I'm on a fully-up-to-date copy of Windows 11)

Am I doing something wrong, not downloading enough stuff, or is there something else making me look stupid?

No mate - that's not what I want... I'd really like to try the one that Dave made - because Dave made it.

Did you take the entire folder or just the .exe, I took the entire folder and it worked fine.

So... I downloaded the whole folder and it turns out it won't run on 64-bit installations which is sad but I guess expected... as a 16 bit app!!
