hihi *i get to lecture Six, i get to lecture Six* [img]tongue.gif[/img]

BGtutu is a very small prog (it was less than 1MB in the early stages IIRC) that converts BG2 into BG1
BGT is the BIG mod that replaces the TutorialButton with Baldur's Gate 1 and thus is a lot more convenient (especially if you have parallel games running) and also brings more continuity into the trilogy. Also it allows you to take your BG1 NPCs into BG2 (although this has always been kinda buggy, e.g. when Xzar meets Xzar )
and adds some new items (including a lesser bag of holding, a certain overpowered cloak and an overpowered helmet that can be taken to BG2). This is paid for by a much larger size (about a CD in the last distribution 1GB+ in the first )

To answer the persistent question above:
If one uses BGTutu
1. there is no possibility (save a second BG2 installation) to play BG2 concurrently
2. you have to export/import your PC to get him/her from BG1 to BG2
3. you cannot take NPCs or items (other than the infamous pantaloons and some other unique goodies) from BG1 to BG2
4. you have to run the uninstall prog for Tutu or make a clean new install to get your BG2 back (unless you have a second BG2 install of course)
