Hi. That is probably because the first file I sent has been updated by more than one version of zinf in the last 2 years. It was from my box that started out as Woody and moved later to Sarge while spending some time as a Sid box. It is now running Sarge. During the years, it was edited to fix some older bugs in earlier releases of Zinf. The second file I sent was from my Sid box which was installed more recently. I don't know what is safe to delete. If you want, I also now have a copy of the preferences that got created when I installed zinf on a new Sarge box. It should have only the latest versions of the entries. I'll attach it to this message in case it will help clear up the confusion. I should have probably waited until after coffee and looked before posting anything. All the files work, so I didn't even realize until you pointed it out that they have so much stuff in them. This is a good example of how Debian just evolves over the years.
