Ahh, the so called "stable" executable from way back when.  I thought I

Go to ldglite.sourceforge.net and get ldglitesrc0_6pre8.zip.  Then send me
an email at dheyse@hotmail.com.

Sorry about the messy state of ldglite lately.  I had to move it to the
sourceforge site, and then some "Real World" stuff like wisdom tooth surgery
kept busy for a while.
