PCRDist where art thou?

Where is PCRDist and what has become of the source?

Last year I stumbled upon pyzzo software which was the company name of the person that created PCRDist. At the time I found the site, he was closing up shop and was releasing PCRDist to the community as an open source project to allow for the program to continue. The problem is, I can't find it anywhere. The site to head up the new open sourced version, www.pcrdist.org appears to be gone. Searching has only turned up pages about different places that are running PCRDist. So, can anyone tell me what has happened to it and if I can still find it anywhere?

Well, Pyzzo was being dissolved the last that I actually saw the site live. The source was supposedly released to the public, and that is what I am looking for. I have all the information from running a whois and have run through all the IPs that Pyzzo used to own to see if they had any servers still online.

Basically, I'm just trying to find out if anyone knows about the release of the source code and any projects still working on it.
