After a period away from SETI I downloaded BOINC and attached SETI, 
everything was working fine including Boinclogx and Map View.  Then I 
decided to also run the Climate Change Experiment.  I had to download the 
Screensaver software and during installation it closed the BOINC manager.  
When BOINC manager re-launched it was running as BOINC manager for BBC 
Climate Change Experiment and no SETI was attached.  I looked at original 
program files for BOINC and boinc.exe was no longer in it although all sah 
files and data was there.  I re-attached SETI to BOINC Manager for Climate 
Change, it downloaded a work unit and started number crunching then I 
altered the path in Boinclogx to point to the new program.  All's well, 
but, what about the work units in the old BOINC manager?  Can I move them 
into the BBC BOINC manager so as to continue the last one I was working on 
and if so what files do I move altogether or have I lost that one?

This is really annoying that the BBC had its own BOINC manager which is 
virtually the same except for its branding and installation into a 
different named folder.  Beware anyone who tries to run this one.
If you think of the workunits as disposable it might help. The
workunits will just be sent to other hosts and they will get credit
for them instead of you. That is not a problem because you aren't
crunching them anyway, you are busy crunching other units.
