that's quite possible... i update the perproxy so very rarely that it is quite 
easy to forget some things ;)

well, i'm not complaining about it... i just happened to decide to clean it up 
and then install the new version... since i start the new version in a minimized 
window from a startup script, it was a bit disconcerting that i wasn't able to 
find it running and no log entries as to why it died... as i wrote before, it 
wasn't until i manually ran proxyper.exe that i saw the notation about the 
missing section...

currently i've only got 4 old versions saved... 313, 333, 343, and now 347... i 
don't recall what versions i ran before putting 313 in place and i did have a 
drive crash back in Nov of '99 that really hit hard and i didn't get around to 
reloading the system until the night of 2000 coming in...

  2-13-00  23:12     169498           3687  proxyper313.exe
12-30-02  13:47     170828            273  proxyper333.exe
10-26-08  10:31     162250              0  proxyper343.exe
  2-16-09  19:34     163414              0  proxyper.exe

the first two i extracted from the archive on the os/2 box and i think the other 
two i transferred over via ftp after the lan manager networking stuff got broken 
which i've never been able to fix... so that's why they do not carry any 
extended attributed ;)

so i guess this is not a bug and now that i know what the cause was and that it 
is not a bug, i guess we can call this "case closed" :)

i welcome further comments, though, if you or anyone else want to post them ;)

BTW: i also wanted to thank you for your work maintaining the os/2 version all 
these years... it still works quite well on my Warp3 Connect server 8)
