I don't understand why you are even commenting on the LDraw0801.exe. This thread
is announcing 2009-02. Is the confusion that there is no link to the complete
zip archive in this article http://www.ldraw.org/Article519.html ?
If you go to http://www.ldraw.org/library/updates you should see a link to
download a zip archive of the update.
Also in the main download area at
http://www.ldraw.org/Downloads-req-viewdownload-cid-1.html there is a complete
zip archive of the library.
You posted a similar complaint when 2009-01 was issued
(http://news.lugnet.com/cad/?n=16201), to which there was what seemed like an
acceptable response.
