staff blogs

distributed.net staff keep (relatively) up-to-date logs of their activities in .plan files. These were traditionally available via finger, but we've put them on the web for easier consumption.

Well one quick update.

rc5des-win32-x86-cli.zip v2.7112.444b

The win32 client was updated to properly fix the screen saver
multiplexor. The screen saver multiplexor now properly works.

Beginning with 2.7112.444, the client distribution (ie .zip) includes
a screen saver multiplexor that will launch the client in the
background and another screen saver of your choice in the
foreground. When deactivated, the multiplexor will stop the
client. The screen saver is tagged as a Windows 4.0 module, ie for
Windows95 /WindowsNT 4.0 or greater, since Win40’s Screen Saver
preview mode only works with 4.0 executables. To run it under
WindowsNT 3.x read readme.txt in the client distribution for
information.

enjoy!
