How do i find out which version? I followed http://eqoffline.free.fr/README.txt but i think it trashed something vital as now I can't even get eqlaunch to work. I don't know if i followed the instructions incorrectly, or if i'm following the wrong set or what. Then i decided to at least use winCVS to download the latest database but it decided i don't have python on my system, no idea why . Maybe it needs python 2.1 not 2.5? Argh.

If there's anyway i can recover from this, please advise. I'm jumping from one forum to another as they all seem almost but not quite the same thing, and a centralised "how-to" would be lovely.

If this mess is unrecoverable can someone advise me how at least to backup the database before i try these things, as i can't see anything obvious like peq.sql in my sql or eqemu folders?

Thanks!!
