As I've seen it, CServe tends to hang on to old uploads sort of endlessly.
So if you see FEdit 3.00, that doesn't mean 3.05 isn't up there too.  
Sometimes it'll be in a different data library [dumb, but it happens]
or just elsewhere in the same library.  And if it's not there at all,
then YOU should think about uploading it yourself when you find it.  
Somebody's gotta post it before the rest of us can grab it, you know!
