AFAIR, the size information dialog of 1.29ß works properly when
the values to show grow larger than 2^32-1. The beta also has
(incomplete) support for filenames with up to 64 characters.

No - the Milan's company is dead and I have never received
anything of the money agreed to be payed for each unit sold.

Besides, it's likely that the final release of Thing will be
freeware (but not open source), anyway. In that case, there
wouldn't be a need for a Ming / N.Thing update at all.


Ciao
