Re: Strange happenings with BY2

[Tony Robinson <deusexmachina667 () gmail com>]

More than answers my question -- You gave me some enhancements to add to my
script! I probably should just have the script generate its own BY2 conf
file; would be much cleaner that Way. Regarding download choices, that
sounds like a very good idea-- Had no idea about the tags. Thanks for the
suggestions and explanations. Hope you have a nice weekend.
