Where to get Sig2Dat
http://www.geocities.com/vlaibb/ is the home page of Sig2Dat creator Indy/VLAIBB, and there you'll find two versions of the latest Sig2Dat:

3.11.a Setup version, which comes as a 41KB zip file containing a single file: a 'one-click' installer package.
(direct download link from VLAIBB)

3.11.a Manual version, which comes as a 20KB zip file containing the application, the registry entries etc., to run manually.
(direct download link from VLAIBB)

- Just download one version (most folks get the Setup version; computer-savvy folks go for the Manual version).
How to install Sig2Dat on your computer
