Dear jchkc123:
I work for Astak and we also are very happy that the factory is finally getting things (suppsedly) right with .LIT. However, do not yell "hooray" yet. The proof will be when the firmware is downloaded and people try it.
I mean, Astak WILL try it, of course. BUT, I have learned that it is better to be sure. The factory thinks they got everything fixed. They are good people and great engineers. BUT, this .LIT issue has been going on for a while.
I will hold my cheering until enough people post and say: "did the new downlaod and the .LIT files read great now".
On that note, we expected to have the firmware upgrade posted today but the FTP transfer from the factory did not work. We hope to get it late tonight (China's morning) and test it and then post it!
