You can download the free update from the Chax we ite and the source code from Kent Sutherland's Chax blog. Kent says he'll continue to release updated source along with new releases. The source is lice ed under the MIT lice e, which he says gives some flexibility to anyone interested in using parts of Chax in other projects. He'll also work to merge in any good patches that he receives. Thanks for your contribution to my Mac Life, Kent :)
