Hi Bill,

I'm using a german version of WIN NT 4.0 SP5 and Guide 7 from
Dec. 6th.

I'm permanently connected to the internet here at the University of
Applied Sciences (Fachhochschule) Bochum where I'm working. I'm
behind a firewall and I can't see anything happening when trying the
functions you describe below.

In the task manager I see the processes GET_DSS.EXE as many
times as I start them, but nothing happens. GSC22.EXE is only started
once even when I try this function several times.

I'm not an internet or network guru, but mustn't there be a setup menu
where I can set a proxy server and a port adress like in SETI@home?

Clear skies
Bernd

PS: Your tip with the missing file "legend.dat" was great. No crashes
now.
