It apparently is getting worse.  The original site containing the links to
download the 'GPL' software disconnected from me in the middle of trying to
download Rekall for Mandrake 9.1 after I had registered.  When I attempted
to reconnect to http://www.totalrekall.co.uk  I was redirected to
http://www.rekall.a-i-s.co.uk/ which is totally devoid of download links.
If I were to hazard a guess it would be that theKompany has shut Dean down.
???
Before the new redirect was established I was getting a "can't connect to
".....theKompany.comrelease".  The theKompany URL to rygannon.com gave:  
"An error occured while loading http://www.rygannon.com:
Unknown host www.rekall.a-i-s.co.ukindex.php"

So the battle must be raging on... ???
