Titolo: Pointer:  Agent FAQs and Information    [LAST  REV: January 25, 2006]


   Italian - ver. 1.93
   Polish unofficial translation of interface:
 
http://www.winace.prv.pl
 
         This is an alias and should always be available.
        (version 1.93).
The non-English language interfaces need to be rewritten for future
versions.  Forte can be expected to announce these updates as they
become available.
