Surely "UseHTTP" is now obsolete since there hasn't been RPC support for some time? Are we losing users? Well, if users can't connect to the server, they're going to be discouraged. Ditto anyone still using Windows 95 - Prime95 v22.3+ has problems since George apparently upgraded his development kit. Another good reason for changing to linux? Anyone with this problem could also try Prime95 v22.1, which _does_ appear to work on Win 95 _and_ hasn't had the connection problems others have been reporting (though there have been occasions this week - at least 12 hours on one occasion - when the server was broken). I find all this a bit hard to understand (and harder to wrestle with when I'm hopelessly overloaded with "work" - as usual at this time of year) since web comms on TCP port 80 is pretty standard these days; even firewall tunnelling is pretty much a "given". When it stopped working, which end was broken so far as standards compliance is concerned?
