Spring RTS Engine

highly annoying.

it links to:

http://taspring.clan-sy.com/dl/taspring_0.71b1.exe

while there also is:

http://taspring.clan-sy.com/dl/taspring_0.72b1.exe


in fact, I cant even get this game working anymore.

No it does not, and you shouldn't be guessing filenames...
The 0.72b1 is for testing, and can change at any time (so don't use it for multiplayer)
