As you have suggested it was purely by accident! I "try" not to
slaughter the English language (the one we are taught here in the US
anyway). I do however commonly use "shortcut" words while texting, I
must have thought I was texting while typing that day! HA This old
mind just isn't what it use to be!

I have to agree with you on this one, although it may in fact be a
matter of opinion, it is "Eh" that we use here. I know how
frustrating it can be to some people to see the misuse of words
though! My pet peeve is to, too and two! How does one become a
college graduate and not know the proper use of those 3 tiny words!?!?
Even with just my high school knowledge I know the difference! It's
primary education right??

Thank you so much for the translations. I'm still learning many of
them and get quite a chuckle out of some of them. One of my favorites
(per a friend on Guernsey Island) is when you stay in a hotel there
they ask you..."Would you like us to knock you up"!! We call it a
"wake up call" here and getting "knocked up" is slang for getting
pregnant, BIG difference! I've often wanted to walk in to a hotel and
ask a nice looking, well built young man if he would like to "knock me
up" just to see his reaction...(snicker)
Okay so back to a few questions a little more on topic if you don't
mind.... I've always had an inquisitive mind and want to know the
when, where, how. I've seen it mentioned that you "may" have changed
the ini file in Agent. I understand in some instances they do need to
be changed. If in fact you did change it, I am curious as to why?
What the benefit might be. I am using Agent 5.00/32.1171 and WinRAR
3.62. They are working fine for me (as far as I can tell) but am
wondering if it would be to my advantage to switch to the releases you
have included with the tools? What might the differences be for me?
Thanks =-)
