Tim,

This is a really good, simple GUI program which will make life a lot easier 
for my users. I tried the cygwin connection tool on win 98 and 2000, but it 
didn't work on neither, complaining of missing DLLs so I guess that needs 
more testing.

The xlauncher worked well on W2k, and did run on Win95 (configured with a 
fixed IP address - not dhcp) but didn't "connect" so I was just wondering if 
that was a win95 bug or not?

Thanks,

JS.
