-This second exe file (see link in heading) was available since the original MX beta package that Steve Loft developed this in April 2015, until Mark Crossley replaced it in March 2021.
 <big>The package described here has been replaced by '''ExportToMySQL.exe''', which is an improved version with slight differences in parameters and functionality.  The new package is documented at [https://github.com/cumulusmx/ExportToMySQL Export To My SQL]</big>
-Sadly few people even notice it exists, and if they do, it is unlikely they know how to use it. Hopefully, some people will read this section and find out!
-Obviously it was updated when Mark Crossley added the Feels Like fields to log files.
+This second exe file (see link in heading) was available in the original MX beta package that Steve Loft developed in April 2015, it remained part of the standard release distribution until March 2021. As noted above, it is no longer part of the MX release distribution and has been replaced by Mark Crossley with a separate package with a slightly more meaningful name.
+Sadly few people even notice ExportMySQL.exe exists, and if they do, it is unlikely they know how to use it. Hopefully, some people will read this section and find out!
+Obviously, the original executable was updated when Mark Crossley added the Feels Like fields to log files.
 Put simply, this executable will read log files and insert (insert ignore) rows into an existing database table. Since it only does inserts, despite the name of this function, it is not just for MySQL tables, the included SQL should work with whatever database table type you have.
