Since this page is referenced from other pages I have created it.
When Steve Loft was about to retire from involvement with Cumulus, he wanted to close his web server. Consequently, a new host was needed for Wiki and the software that had been on the old server.  


This was the page for downloading Cumulus 1 software. A new page has been created for [[Software|MX Software]] with Cumulus 1 downgraded to legacy, and the creators of that page got rid of this page and made it difficult to find the files attached to it.
The Cumulus Wiki was moved by Ken True to this site in October, 2018 as part of the shutdown of Steve's sandaysoft.com website with his retirement, and the software files were moved at same time. It appears (as the main page suggests "We've added download links for Cumulus V1 and Cumulus MX in the new Software/Downloads page " there was a bit of conflict between two different authors as to whether to call the page software or downloads.
 
Anyway, the Cumulus 1 files were linked to this "Downloads" page by Ken at that time, as part of the migration of the Wiki.
 
Later, Steve Loft sought a new host for the support forum, which also included links to the MX beta he was writing.  When Niall ("Freddie") took over hosting of the forum, the MX software that had been linked from the forum was moved to the Wiki on a new page [[Software|called Software]]. Unfortunately, on that new page with Cumulus 1 downgraded to legacy, the creator of that page was so keen to promote the move to MX, he deliberately made it more difficult to find the files attached to this page, yet this "Downloads" page was already referenced from other pages and those links were not updated.
while later
 
Consequently, I have modified this Wiki page back to a proper page, it now contains everything related to Cumulus 1 for future reference (and historic interest).
