Nice to have some mirroring anyway.
Tony wasn't big on keeping old, back copies of gtkwave anyway.
FYI, gtkwave can now be found at:
ftp://ftp.cs.man.ac.uk/pub/amulet/gtkwave
The current (v. simple) web page is at:
http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/amulet/tools/gtkwave/
I only keep source on the ftp site at the moment and am planning
a big-interface-changes-but-will-need-some-beta-testing release
near the end of the month.

*ahem*, I've not attacked the thorny issue of win32 support for
newer versions yet.
BTW. Tony has this plan for a new waveform format to replace
VCD wherever possible. It's called LXT and should yield much
better load times for large trace files and very much faster
add-trace times. Last time I heard from him he was working on
LXT generators for Verilog simulators and making a special
point of supporting Icarus .

I'll also store binary packages if people think that's useful.
I personally feel that gtkwave is easy enough to build that
only win32 stuff is *really* worth keeping in binary form.
