Did that.  It came up here:
<http://mikrocomputertechnik.fh-mannheim.de/Download/Software/software.
htm>

and here:
<http://pricelessware.org/thelist/fil.htm>

But the download link from the Pricelessware site is broken.  The file 
is available from the .de link.  It's 231,061 bytes, which, I assume, 
is the correct size for the recommended "Properties Plus 1.65"?

Addendum:  The link from this Pricelessware page is also stuffed:
<http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/2004/PL2004FILEUTILITIES.php>

Cheers, Phred.
