Just want to publicly thank Ken for the hard work and time he has put into creating this little gem. NetAgent is FANTASTIC. I've got a list of people in my address.ini file, and when I want to see if anyone is racing (or if I have found an IP# of someone that is hosting), I just enter it, and away I go! Thanks again, Ken DoktorB http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl (it's available on his site or on mine) >GPL NetAgent v1.2 is now out! >If you haven't seen this program, it reads your address.ini file and pings and >returns information about the race. >New in this version is the ability to poll servers.

Is it just me or does VROC overwrite my address.ini each time? Timothy Moran

Yep, I believe it does. I think what it does is renames your current address.ini file to something else, and puts the VROC host IP# into a NEW address.ini file. When you exit GPL, it reverts the files back to the original status. doktorB >Is it just me or does VROC overwrite my address.ini each time?

Not on my machine.. The address file is overwritten for good :( (or it isn't being put back) Jason.

VROC did that to me once, too! I had probably 12 good names in my address.ini file that were "static" IP#'s and could usually find 4 or 5 that would be online every night, but then VROC wiped it! Lesson learnt. BACK UP YOUR ADDRESS.INI FILE if you have stuff in there you don't want to lose! doktorB >Not on my machine.. The address file is overwritten for good :( >(or it isn't being put back)
