Those long arms strike fear in my heart. But the game becons. Can I refuse such a lady, even in the shadows of clear and present danger?
5Q + 5Q
5Q + 5Q
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

There are 5 versions in the ZIP file. The x32/x64 bit is obvious but what is the difference between the SmarThink_v197_x64.exe & SmarThink_v197_x64_standalone.exe?

_standalone means no /Qparallel option, so it's 3% slower but don't need Intel redistributable DLL's package installed.reflectionofpower wrote:There are 5 versions in the ZIP file.
