It's a NetWare system. Moreover, it's at a school, and the admin is very
afraid of file sharing in any form... (This is no problem to the screensaver
thing, but will make it difficult to copy the [pq]* files easily.)

This could be done, I have admin privilegies, but I'm not sure if the real
admin would apprecaite it.

That was what I was looking for... Now, how to incorporate that in Prime95
is another matter, especially as I don't think George would like too many
zeroed-out security codes due to people running own-compiled versions.

Yes, but how? In primenet.dll? Do we have the source for that at all?

How? That is the question... I guess I need to get VC++ back, enter Windows
(yuck) and do something smart (an FTP upload, for instance). If any coders
out there are willing to help me, it would be nice.
