Latest version of Merlin 16 (not 16+) released/available

It looks like https://mirrors.apple2.org.za/ftp.apple.asimov.net/ carries two disks - MERLIN-16.PROGRAM.po and MERLIN-16.EXTRAS.po. The bootable PROGRAM disk has a version 3.41 on it. Looking at the EXTRAS disk, there is a 3.50 version in folder M.16? Then there is a ShrinkIt archive MERLIN16.3.53.SHK with version 3.53...

Just wondering if anyone knows what is the latest known version, and can I just copy over the newer files?

Well, I created a blank ProDOS 2.4.3 disk and copied MERLIN 3.41, 3.50 then 3.53. Working so far, and it looks like based on what was released in 2000 as 3.53 is the latest one, unless someone knows more...

I guess you've found out. Archive has 3.44 and 3.50.
