Ooops, sorry... I presumed that something had gone wrong which
was making the v18 rpcnet.dll misbehave and had a much smaller
file size as an indirect result ...

I don't have a suitable environment, as I explained above. Perhaps
other people could have a go.
BTW, Scott, when you post new versions of software, could you
please either mail me or change the "last updates" date on the
PrimeNet News page. I didn't know that the files had been changed
until I read this message, hence by ftp mirror was still serving the
version with the "old" v18 rpcnet.dll. (I've just pulled the latest files
onto the mirror. Sorry to anyone who's been fetching over the last
few days)
