as a long-time user of free agent (since 16-bit 1.11/16.235 in windows 95),
after testing registered versions of 1.93/32.576 and 8.00/32.1272, i still
prefer free agent 1.93 for posting and 40tude dialog 2.0.15.41 for reading
(registered agent 1.93 unlocks undo etc., but agent 8.00 is for the birds)

free agent 1.93/32.576 (2.29 mb):
