sailcut 3.8.0

[mario yoddlerboy]

  I am unable to force the package (from the synaptic manager) to upgrade the only version 1.8 (?) to the most current release. note there is no listing for versions other than the original "jaunty" version 1.8.my current ubuntu OS is 9.04.
  I am an aspiring small boat designer/builder, NOT for sale or profit. Being recently retired I'm heading for the mid atlantic florida coast. my intention is to use this program for panel/conical development of sheet plywood. any/all information concerning obtaining a copy of working software will be most appreciated. 
  I also am willing to "try-it/buy-it" IF it will suit my needs.
regards,
mario
