I'm looking for testers to help me test my software. Check out http://www.surrey.quik.com/dwilliam/gplonlin.htm it sparks you interest, it's yours to download. Let me know if you download it. Thanks, Dean

I really like the look of this , I am using it right now but doesn't seem to have any races going on. Nice job, I really like the little Monitor. -- Kevin Anderson ICQ # 6769389 >I'm looking for testers to help me test my software.

Yes, it's a VERY good alternative to VROC imo. It also consumes a hell less memory then Netscape running with VROC at the background.... Regards, Tadej Krevh http://members.xoom/LotusRacing/

I tried it also and works very well. FYI, it uses about 1/3 the memory of Netscape 4.5 Brian >Yes, it's a VERY good alternative to VROC imo. It also consumes a hell less >memory then Netscape running with VROC at the background.... >Regards, >Tadej Krevh >http://members.xoom/LotusRacing/

DLed software a couple of days ago but never caught anybody online until today. I decided to host and and one other connected for some practice. Never did get race going because he had to go but it really works well. I think it is just a matter of getting word out that alternative exists.

go to http://www.surrey.quik.com/dwilliam/gplonlin.htm and download the newest version 1.046. It runs fine. tony

Sure looks good, but it says there are no races, whereas I see 2 open ones on Netscape and 3 already full... what have I done wrong?

I think it uses its own list of races, so that only races that the host has setup through GPLSL will show. We just need more people to host on GPLSL, then we'll be racing Andy

Aha! That explains it. I will definitely give it another try then. Thanks. Too bad it can't access the same data VROC can- but I have no idea what the conflicts with that must be.

>Too bad it can't access the same data VROC can- but I have no idea >what the conflicts with that must be. Could work very well, but for that to happen both sides would have to share information... And (just my opinion) this isn't gonna happen since usually all software authors are quite reluctant to the idea of sharing their work. Sad thing for us though, cause imagine what the possibilities would be if everyone united their individual works... I do understand though why people don't want to give up their copyright on software. It's quite *** the internet to get the credit you deserve for your work. If you share what you know, there'll always be some scumbag somewhere who will release something based on this knowledge and take all the credit... As for VROC, I wish they'd unite their efforts, cause many people have problems when Netscape's running in the background and GPLSL is a great alternative. Plus it'd make both ressources more interesting cause we'd have access to more servers. I wouldn't hold my breath though... A. Renault
