OK thanks again.

Actually the problem has been solved (sort of) because they also have a
sourcforge account, and I can see how the sourceforge mirror:/
specification works in URI_SRC. sweet.

Now to persuade the plonkers to remeber to post new versions to sf. I

Never mind, I am learning in the process!
