Hi. Checked out your program!
Works for me. Very good for a few days work!
You may find that: Generally people resist programs that send and receive data on the internet written by someone they don't know.
i.e. Why a 5 meg download for a 180K program? Sorry if that's a stupid question, but I'm a hardware person and not really into the software end of things.
Thanks for checking it out!
I know the resistance about internet accesses - but it does have to contact ebay to get the info The program only checks my website when you push the 'U' button - and then it only requests information. Nothing is sent to me other than the request for the current version number. Still, I understand the concern - but if I were trying to do something sneaky I wouldn't make it extremely easy to track me down (a 'whois' on my website will give you my name and address).
5 meg. It's a nasty Microsoft Visual Basic thing. The package includes all of the support files (dll's, run time libraries) - most of which you probably already have installed on your computer. That's why the 'Update' package is so much smaller - I strip out everything I can. It's safe to delete the package file once you have installed the program - you can always get another copy from my website if you need it.
