Sv: Sv: If you're using an official curl for Windows 32-bit build instead of 64-bit please tell us why

Of course, I help by writing an installation instruction for ordinary IT people. The problem is that I can't spend any more time on this now, because I've put in so many days without success.

Instead, I will solve my problems in another way. Maybe I'll get back to you later.

That snark was added in your head. It certainly was not in my mind when I
wrote that response.

I have spent a condiderable amount of time writing documentation for curl. It
is *hard* to write documentation that reaches all users correctly in their
various knowledge levels and different expectations etc.

The person that has a documentation problem right now is in the best possible
position to help out fixing that.

(Based on experience) I don't assume that everyone involved remembers and
properly considers the fact that curl is open source and is the product of
mostly volunteers chipping in their little efforts so that the combined
results become something useful. *Everyone* can help improve all aspects -
including the documentation.

I think newcomers with their fresh eyes on the project can provide valuable
feedback and help us improve, for other newcomers. For us who have been doing
internet transfers for multiple decades already, I figure it is easy to miss
out making newcomer friendly documentation simply because we've forgotten how
it was to be there.
