Thanks everyone, I am guilty as charged; I did not read the Whatsnew.

I'm not sure why this action deserves to be "Advanced" and require the
password to activate.  Still, that isn't hard to do.

Cheers... Russ

Mersenne: Contact Primenet

2000-06-23 Thread Russel Brooks

There used to be an option in Test-Primenet to force a connection.
In version 20 this is gone and I miss it. I often dial in for just a
couple of minutes.  I would like to connect to primenet or Prime95 is
already trying, but I may not be connected long enough to use Prime95's
periodic connect attempt.

Why was it deleted?  Can it be brought back?

Cheers... Russ

Look under Advanced-Manual Communication.

I believe what you are refering to is the "send new completion dates"
checkbox.

As indicated in the WhatsNew.Doc file

New features in Version 20.0 of prime95.exe
7)  The "send new completion dates" checkbox was moved from the
Test/Primenet
dialog box to the Advanced/Manual Communication dialog box.

Does this help?

There is an option under Advanced | Manual Communication to force a
connection.  It will update the computer info on the Primenet servers, send
new completion dates, receive new exponents, and whatever else need be done.

~ Levi :o)

P.S.  If the option is disabled, it is possible that you'll have to consult
the program's readme file to learn how to enable the options under the
Advanced menu.
