OK. So there's no needed to download the .exe only from the beta
address Roel gave me.

I have no problem with silence, and among the longstanding, more vocal
members no gets gets offensive (even though Steve come slosest, he's
not vicious.
But here's what T Plucket wrote in response to my saying:

(Which was a constructive comment and not aggressive).

I suggested he think a bit more, not "shut the hell up".

he failed to take my comment to heart and reacted stupidly.
The four words he refers to are obviously offensive ones.
TP> What I will say is that I will speak what I know and what I feel,
Evidently what he knows and feels best is an immature reaction and
veiled threat to get really nasty.

He won't bother and with that said, the matter will be let lie, and
the swift and appropriate reaction would probably be the delete key.
The guy may know something about computers but he makes far too many
assumptions and his opinions whether on or off target, are worth a lot
less than he seems to think. He's another Frank Farance in my book,
except FF didn't respond aggressively.
Thanks for the tip.
