When I last did a fresh install of LTS in July of 2009, the executable I downloaded from Linear weighed in at 8.8Mb. Earlier today I downloaded the latest exe from what is now Analog.com (guess they took over Linear) and it's almost 42Mb. That's quite a tidy increase! Anyone know what reason(s) is/are behind this? -- This message may be freely reproduced without limit or charge only via the Usenet protocol.
