Or not use the archives. I've done pretty well without 2.4 so far.

BTW, Winwire is working after a reboot.
WinXP doesn't usually need a reboot. :(

I was and am well aware of a few clicks to set things back.
I shouldn't have to set them BACK. They shouldn't change.
I still haven't installed it on THIS computer because of those

I haven't read much into the euphoria in euporia interpretter yet.
I will have plenty to learn from with it. I thank you for that.
I think ! After all, I'm not sure that I will take the time to go
through it. It runs, most of the time. I've been getting some
error about many of the DOS32 programs not being able to
run in this system or something like that. They run without going
through ex eu.ex but they don't run through ex eu.ex :(
