You may download the current demonstration version of SymblCro here. The downloads are zip files which you will have to unzip.
SymblCro will run on Windows 2000 and XP, and on Windows 98. It should also run on Windows ME, but probably not on Windows 95
If you do not have a previous version, download the Full Install.
If you have a previous version download the Upgrade. You can unzip it over your current copies of SymblCro.
To download, right click the small icon and select "Save Target As...".
If you have problems or questions, you might find a solution on the FAQ page.
Instructions for Download of Full Install:
Unzip the download to a temporary directory. Then run setup. This will install SymblCro on your computer. You may install it to the default directory, "NHSW\SymblCro", or to any directory you choose. After the installation, you can delete the unzipped files.
Instructions for Download of Upgrade:
This version of SymblCro should be able to handle any patterns you created with any earlier version. But, just in case, copy the current SymblCro files, patterns, and .rtfs into another directory. Then unzip the download into the directory where you installed the earlier version.
The Full Install has a few sample patterns that will go into the same directory as SymblCro.exe. You may also download these separately and unzip them wherever you want them.
Notes on Next Version:
This is the last free Demo version. It took longer than I thought it would to implement a select and copy feature. Life and health often affect schedules capriciously, as well. But, I'm still here, and still working on SymblCro.

Demo Version 3 posted:
Two sample patterns added to download
Changes from previous verson:
The text pane no longer attempts to track rows.
The StatusBar tracks row numbers as SymblCro loads a pattern.
SymblCro recognizes commands to:
convert a specific stitch to its equivalent in chains
mark a stitch as the last in its row
select the working row
The user can specify up to 512 sections.
See the help file for details on these operations.
Notes for Windows 98 users:
During the install, you will get a message about an invalid file. You may ignore this.
Windows 98 limits the size of the pattern file to 64K bytes, so the large patterns will not load past about row 17.
During testing, SymblCro occasionally failed to handle a right click stitch. Hitting the F5 (Refresh) key, corrected this.
