[conjur]

Just saw Mike's post in the alt.sci.seti NG

Hmmm.....must be early as the version I downloaded still says v1.6.3.4 and has same date as that file.

Hmm...well, I downloaded it but was going to look at it tonight. Here's the text of Mike's Usenet message (Hope you don't mind, Mike 🙂 )


I fixed the client priority radio group and updated the copyright notice in
the "About" dialog.

The problem with v1.6.3.4 crept in while I was attempting to figure out a
way to change the actual thread priority of the client so SETI Driver could
be used to work around the "Off-line" folders (mis)feature in Outlook 200x
and Windows XP. For those of you who haven't hit this problem, it is
basically caused the SETI CLI client running at base priority 4 and the
"off-line" support in Outlook and WinXP running at base priority 1. The
upshot is that Outlook and XP wait for the off-line folders thread to
complete before they continue operating, but the SETI CLI client is
consuming all the CPU because it has a higher processing priority.

To ensure you have the latest version, download from the "United States" link. The mirrors can take a day or so to update and the "Spanish Language" version may take longer.

No problem on clipping the usenet post.

Mike.

Thanks for the heads up Conjur 🙂

Any luck with changing client priority?

 

[ober]

As currently designed, SETI Driver won't be able to change the client's thread priority unless you're running on WinME or XP. I have reported this problem twice to Berkeley. I haven't looked at whether an application can do it if it keeps the thread handle around when it creates a process. If I actually do v2, I will definitely look into this.

Thanks for the update Mike! 🙂

....I thought you gave up on this program? Glad you didn't quite yet! 😀

So this addresses the "stumbling" problem when using Win2k and Outlook, am I getting the right idea?

Not this version of SETIDRiver ,but it is being looked into
