Lee,

Thanks for keeping us tuned up!

I have an older version; should I uninstall it first or download over it?

Hmm...
TBH, I've never tried actually asking (except once, with Proxo, which sadly was declined - it's too bad, too, because the author passed away the in the next few months!), but I guess it can't hurt to try :>

Write to the author, usually they will pass it on.

Another nice find, Lee.
I wish the source for that was available... there needs to be something like that for Linux. Most of the related tools are command-line only as far as I can find.
