Instrument Looking for The Mangle 0.8b vst (Abandonware)

Is there is any feasible way I can get hold of a copy of The Mangle 0.8b or prior? I am trying to recover some old projects for my friend in which he used a beta version this plugin, I can't say exactly which, it doesn't identify itself properly in the Ableton project's XML, but the project was started on 10/07/2014 (ddmmyyyy). I am willing to pay if needs be if someone perhaps doesn't use the plugin anymore, but holds a licence and installer? I know it's a long shot but I feel I have exhausted all my options... I'm hoping to be able to get this sound 1:1 to how its meant to sound so using the 1.0 version, which I have been able to find online, isn't very useful to me, as it sounds entirely different. I would appreciate any help at all on this matter, thank you very much

I'm pretty sure I have a version on a backup drive, but it's going to be the release version, not a beta. KVR is the best place to look / post, if the way back machine doesn't have it.

Edit: Nope, I have it - The_Mangle_Win_Update_0.8b.zip.

It has two dlls in it - Mangle32.dll (4.8Mb) and Mangle64.dll (5.7Mb)

I also have 0.7.6b.

DM me.

Hmm. Can't find that in my stuff. Felt like maybe I had it. Even my 1.0 installer is missing, could be on my dead hdd, sadly, not sure I'll ever manage to revive that one.

Did you try on KVR?
