My last message was wrong. Clients before 6.2 (early 2008) didn't know about plan class; they assumed app versions are uniquely identified by (app, version) rather than (app, version, plan class) Hence the scheduler only sends app versions with no plan class (i.e., single-CPU app versions) to such

Hi David! I do like the idea of having a couple of predefined sets of settings that one can easily select. Something that bothers me since the early days of BOINC is the inconsistency of which preferences can be set via web / manager / client (command-line or files) and possibly account manage
