I'm running WSJT-X 2.4.0 (on Ubuntu linux), installed as a update a year or so ago.  I have a neighbor running v. 2.5 on a Mac, also a recent update.  Both of us are curious about FST4.  We are following the documentation guidelines for setup and we cannot find the SAMPLES files to use for the demo and testing.  The SAMPLES directory opens properly, but it is empty.  Does updating WSJT-X not load sample files (that is, only the initial distribution does), or do I need to download samples as a separate step?  If so, where are they? 

Thanks everyone. I know it's a dumb question.
