This is a statically compiled Linux ELF libc5 binary. Because some of the bots need datafiles, I've also put up a zip with the complete source base + datafiles that are used for the races, minus the private bots. I hope this satisfies the needs of most of you. The ones that are stuck on a Windows platform will have to have a bit more patience. I do have a Windows box but the latest RARS on it is still v0.72 so it'll take a while to get it in sync again. If something doesn't work, you know where to complain ;) Here are the links: http://home.planetinternet.be/~pascutto/rarsexe.zip (+-500K) http://home.planetinternet.be/~pascutto/rarssrc.zip (+-1MB) Driver updates: K1999v04 from Remi's site.
