Inquire / enquire

Hi,

I'm a bit confused about these two words: inquire / enquire. Are they just 2 written forms of one word, or different words with slightly different meanings? If any, what's the difference?

Thanks.

Please ignore the above post.

Inquire has the same meaning as enquire as follows:

If you inquire about something, you ask for information about it. (FORMAL)
`Is something wrong?' he enquired...
`Who are you?' he enquired of the first man...
I rang up to inquire about train times...
He inquired whether there had been any messages for him...
