Not often, but last time I downloaded an alpha version there were so 
many options that I didn't understand I didn't have the patience to go 
through the ttdpatch.cfg file - and even the options that I tried to 
read your descriptions I didn't always understand exactly how that 
switch worked.

That (the ttdpatch.cfg) is one of the things that pushed me onto OpenTTD 
(that and the fact that TTDPatch is always changing, so each save game 
is useless because by the time you get around to opening the save game 
again there is a new version of TTDPatch out with a whole new set of 
options and your old game becomes redundant as you enable the new options)

If there is a good enough TTDPatch configurator released for the next 
major TTDPatch release then I could settle with that, but again, last 
time I checked the alpha was changing so fast the configurator didn't 
have all the new options in.

Hope you understand what I'm trying to say here,
Eli
