[WriteLog] Friend ini

[Jim Rhodes]

I run Win98, but really consider the friend.ini feature to one of those 
"cute" things added that really don't enhance or speed up operation. Using 
it only lengthens transmissions and slows down rate. I really don't care to 
have someone transmit my name to me with every Q. Don't increase priority 
of this fix on my account.
