Is that really 1800 GMT or 1800 BST? 1400 or 1300 hrs EDT? I'm ready to hurl my 7800 keys/sec 486/66 into the fray. I should be able to do about 24 segments over 12 hours tonight using brutessl.exe 1.02 for DOS. Maybe I should have been in line at Midnight to get WIN/95 so I could run it automatically. The 32-bit Windows version does *not* work with my old Windows 3.11 even with the latest Microsoft 32-bit add in. DCF "No Ossifer, I'm not smoking.

Yep really 18:00 GMT, ie slightly over 2 hours from now approx.

Yep, getting a decent 32 bit app for windows / DOS seems to be a problem alright. Pity as the 32 bit app runs appreciably faster. I made a plea for a DJGCC (DOS port of GNU cc) compiled binary, that would run under bog standard DOS, and with full 32 bit, if we can find anyone with the software to do it. Any takers?

The Win32 client is multi-threaded. Win32s doesn't support multi threading and has a whole host of other things missing too. Win95 claims to support threads, although I heard "not many". - Andy +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Andrew Brown Internet <asb@nexor.co.uk> Telephone +44 115 952 0585 | | PGP (2048/9611055D): 69 AA EF 72 80 7A 63 3A C0 1F 9F 66 64 02 4C 88 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
