Glad to hear that.

Thanks again for trying my program, I really cannot thank you enough.

I’ve begun including a link to a page describing it and allowing downloads of it with my cover letters when I apply to jobs. With a little luck, this might get me back on my feet again.

I’ll likely bump this thread when I update the prog, but don’t feel obligated to try the new versions (unless you are bored). You have done so much for me already.

Thank you again.

This one uses a drop-down combo-box to choose the interface, so there’s less typing for the user.

I’d really like this one to be tried by someone with multiple interfaces, if possible. I only have one, so I cannot really test this to my comfort.

There was a problem with the drop down box in sps21 on some machines where it would only show one choice and have very tiny scroll buttons. Of course, not on my machine, to make it a big pain the debug…

But, I think I figured it out. If anybody with multiple lan interfaces can try this out, I’d be very grateful.
