I'm using the program since 1.5, now I have installed 1.7.4 and it
is working fine. Its was used with 1.5, 1.6.25, 1.7.0 to 1.7.4, I do not
install 1.7.5 in my machine.

I have installed all my versions over version 1 of file system, because
sometimes I access from Linux (it does not support v2 file systems), but
I think this is not a problem.

So the zip file is called mxloader, when I developed it I called wini, so
I was working initialy with the at-wini driver, and used a few parts of
the code.
