Conagent is an undocumented "helper" program that DOS Based Windows versions
(95, 98, and ME) use to interface Windows 32-bit command line programs,
Windows 16 bit (Windows 3.x) and DOS applications to the underlying OS.
However, it doesn't handle files properly.  To handle files properly,
including the shutdown problem (SETI doesn't close on shutdown), download
the default.zip file from my SETI Driver site.  Unzip this file into
c:\Windows and reboot.  This will fix the shutdown issue in a fully
documented and MS supported method.

To minimize the client on startup, copy _default.pif into your SETI Client
directory and rename it to match the name of you SETI Client.  Open the file
and find the option to run minimized and select it.  Don't change any other
options.

Hi,

I'm on a Dell box running WinMe.  I'm pretty savvy about windows, but

know

next to nothing about DOS.  I'm running S@H with SetiGate.

I've read that S@H runs faster in the command line version, and I

wouldn't

mind giving it a try.  I know for sure that S@H runs faster when it's
minimized.

The questions:

Can I run the CL version with SetiGate?

Is there a "CL Seti For Dummies" sort of webpage?

How can I get the Windoze version to start minimized?  I've tried

changing

the properties of the shortcut but that doesn't seem to work.

TIA,

Chakolate

Setigate and seti cli work very well together. I you read the word

document

that downloaded with
setigate it gives instruction on how to set up locally or across a

network.

To get seti (cli version) to run minimised, copy a file called

conagent.exe

from windows/system into your
seti@home folder. I don't know if this works with the screensaver version.

Any problems, post back to the group.

nic.
