Everything seems to be working ok now (well, except sendmail maybe, but if this message arrives it can't be that bad ;) so there should be no further delayed races. I could not upload the movie files to the ftp site (Permission Denied when writing the file), nor to the root of the webdir, only to the results dir which I created some time ago. Marc, could you take a look at it please and mail me if you figure out why. The new mailinglist seems to work smoothly...as soon as sourceforge has figured out which addresses still work (I'm getting a lot of bounces) we'll also have a good idea of how many people are involved with RARS. Drivers: BigRed was updated to version 22. Movies are at : http://rars.sourceforge.net/results/suzuka.zip http://rars.sourceforge.net/results/random.zip Greetings, Gian-Carlo
