   I remember using a feature over the internet (via email) that would scour

   I did a quick test in my Win7 64-bit. The setup just need to Run as Admin.   
   Appears to run ok too.  It looks a bit different from the APoint I thought     
   I used in the past.

   Thanks for doing that.  I will have to give this baby a test run shortly.     
   Meanwhile, is there any reason why you left the following commented out:   
      
   # TCP settings. Leave these unchanged if not sure.   
   #   
   #iport binkp   
   #oport binkp   
   #oblksize 4096   
   #timeout 60   
   #connect-timeout 300   
      
   Don't they need to be uncommented to operate?
