I've been running this since your April 17th update and have had no
problems at all so far. Usually no news is good news but I just haven't
had anything to report and it's about time I said so and thanks John.

John -

I've been running the same, since 4-16-06.  I did have problems and 
wrote you with screenshots attached.  I re-sent the attachments.  Never 
received acknowledgement, etc.

Did you receive the following?

Yes, I did. But I'm sorry to admit that it got overlooked until I saw this
message.

The new beta I uploaded today should fix "A" & "B".  The problem was that 4OS2
apparently displays a message when a file is deleted.  CMD.EXE does not.

It does eliminate the "A-B" problem.

I'm not sure I understand this.  Are you saying that when you use CTRL+C to
terminate JBSWU, that one version of JBSWU closes the window and another does
not?

There is nothing in my program which should close the window as far as I know. 

My object has the following settings (which keep the window open after CTRL+C):
Path and file name: 	CMD.EXE
Parameters:		/k jbswu_monitor.cmd
Working directory:	<directory where jbswu_monitor.cmd and rexxrpc.cmd are
located>

I tried changing CMD.EXE to a full path and filename for 4OS2.exe.  This
doesn't work well.  It pegs my CPU meter even though I have the Seti client run
mode set to never.  I know little more about 4OS2 except that it exists (and
that is displays a message when deleting a file!?).  So I don't have any idea
why this is happening.

Then I moved the 4OS2 files into the path and just put 4OS2.EXE in the "Path
and file name" setting.  This worked well.

How is your desktop object set up?

Seti-Warp future?

I'm wondering about the future of Seti-Warp.

The following is on the Seti project page:

May 4, 2006  
We've started distributing work for a new version of SETI <at> home called SETI <at> home
Enhanced. 

And my Boinc client is reporting:

2006-05-07 06:27:40 [SETI <at> home] Sending scheduler request to
http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi
2006-05-07 06:27:40 [SETI <at> home] Reason: To fetch work
2006-05-07 06:27:40 [SETI <at> home] Requesting 42405 seconds of new work
2006-05-07 06:27:48 [SETI <at> home] Scheduler request to
http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi succeeded
2006-05-07 06:27:48 [SETI <at> home] Message from server: No work sent
2006-05-07 06:27:48 [SETI <at> home] Message from server: (won't finish in time)
Computer on 98.9% of time, BOINC on 98.7% of that, this project gets 100.0% of
that
2006-05-07 06:27:48 [SETI <at> home] No work from project

I guessing
	- these are related.
	- the server wants to send work for the Seti <at> home enhanced version 
	- that without the "enhanced" Seti software there may not be future work for us

Please tell me I'm wrong or that there is hope for a Warp/eCS version of the
"enhanced" Seti software.

Re: Seti-Warp future?

The web page also said, We won't finish distributing the new client for 
at least a month, as we are concerned about the bandwidth needed to send 
out all the updates. 

We need a new client, yes, but we have some time

But I think that they will only be distributing clients for "supported
platforms" and OS/2 is not a "supported platform".

>We need a new client, yes, but we have some time.

Is anyone working on a new client?

Re: Seti-Warp future?

My XP machine was on its LAST WU.  I used BoincMenu to tell it to go
get more work.

I downloaded the new client and 6 new workunits, all from 1999 data. 
CPU is overheated so I am stopping the client to let the cpu cool, and
then run benchmarks again.

My ecs11 machine was down to only 1 WU in queue.  I told it to go get
more work and it got 10 new WUs, also from 1999.

So the new cleint is starting to be distributed and workunits are
being fed to new and old clients.

Re: Seti-Warp future?

I have two machines that have now received the new "Enhanced" client
One is still working off old style units. Of course the OS2 machines
are still working on 4.18 units. I have also noticed that Seti has
said from time to time that it is not sending new units even as my
system requests some. I am guessing that they do not have enough of
both styles to go around. One of my machines processes with an
"optimized" client and it will not receive the new version either.
Guessing again that those using optimized clients and unsupported
clients such as OS2 will be able to process the 4.18 workunits for
some time to come. 
As far as a enhanced version for OS2 goes....Yuri has the knowledge
but I suspect he got "burned out" trying to get the 4.18 version
going. Do not know about any other possibilities, but then until it
arrived I did not know about the current OS2 client either. Gratefull
for Yuri's work though and hopes he will at least help in getting a
new enhanced version going. One of my machines was processing a
workunit in just under 4 hrs and now it looks like it will take about
7 hrs for the first enhanced unit. Can not say yet if that ratio will
hold. Later. John
