    I am wondering if there is a good link to download RA ?

    That was always rapro.com but it is not answering ATM but the domain doesn't expire until 2026 so there is hope that it may return.

    I have ra_262sw.zip here but I don't know if that is the latest. It is dated Aug 9, 2000.

    uncle google turns up numerous sites that have it available but i know that you can get it from my system which was the last of the beta sites until Hurricane Florence came through in 2018 and killed the system running it...

    ftp://sestar.synchro.net/main/RAUTILS/00index.html

    every public release of RA is available there... the latest/last one being v2.62.1...

    i do not know if it is still registerable, though... i've not heard anything from bruce morse in years but his RAPro site is still up... it points to BMT Micro as being one available registration site but i really don't know if that's still viable... you can try contacting him via the email links on his site... or, if you have a facebook account, you might find him there...

    it should be noted that there is no 32bit version of RA, either... this area was started back in the '90s when there was talk of someone doing a 32bit client/server version... sadly that never went anywhere and i simply kept the area listed... the best places for support of RA are RA_SUPPORT and RA_UTIL but traffic in them has been non-existant for a very long time...

    Thank you Mark... Yeah I spent a bit of time on Google (maybe not enough) seemed I could find pages full of dead links.. I was about to give up looking at it, so I appreciate your response.
