Yes, but there is a "subscription" fee charged to the shareware author
to place such announcements and pointers to files online. Why bother?
Oakland doesn't charge (plus it gets on a CD for even further
distrubition), and the Utility Report does pretty decent reviews. Save
your bucks for the next compiler upgrade.

Just my $0.02
