Lemme try again.... if i don't see the howto of a language, an example of how 
the words are used, and what the language words are, i won't bother to 
download the language. Presto, no setup. I haveto be already interested in a 
language to download a language with no online help, with all the docs in the 
download/install package.

And win/dos isn't that nice about installing anyhow, what with the rebooting 
and fixed paths and such. I deleted the Eu-specific lines in autoexec, and 
just copy a /bin dir everywhere i go.
