Igor:
Thanks for the update. Am testing it out now. Regarding
#1 thru #5, how long would you estimate it would take you to
clean up the code and document the functionality?
Before that work, though, I'm hoping we can fix the
Master Node functionality. Two known bugs:
1. All Kaboodle nodes ping the list of active devices. Only
the Master Node should do this. Everyone else should just
sniff. If I change the Master Node, the new Master should
start pinging.
2. When I start Kaboodle on a Win98 laptop with just a modem
and no network connection, it fails to set itself as the
Master. At least, when I install the RegistrationFile,
GetEngaged.exe warns me that "This PC is not the Master".
thanks,
Scott
