Out of curiosity, what's the diff between the newer versions and the

Vic, I'm using 1.91, and have been doing so for a bunch of years. Most of
the complaining I've heard has been with the new versions. I *did* download
and install a new version a year or so ago, and didn't like it at all.
Thank God, I'd kept the old download file so I could reinstall the old one
which works great.

Guess I'm not missing anything then.
When I upgraded to 1.9x there was added YENC functionality,
but I didn't see anything in future upgrades that tickled my fancy.
