Damion, I'm sorry If I seemed a little critical in that post.

What I meant about "cleanest version" Is that even though point-release 15
is the latest release, I wanted to know if this is what people (who are NOT
having problems) are running.

Thanks

What do you mean by the "cleanest version" ?

No, of course it's not abandoned. There's a big redesign of the service
coming
and a patch release of the driver pending. Circumstances (including a
hurricane induced power outage) have prevented me doing a proper compile
and
test at home. I don't have the CIPE-Win32 build environment setup at work
so
it slows things down considerably.
