Then execute this file to extract the zip utilities. ZIP is also available on lots of other public servers. KNOWN BUGS REMAINING: ---------------------------------------------------- 1) There is a known problem using CU-SeeMe with the Trumpet Winsock TCP/IP stack. This bug occurs when you have a capture device and are sending - after a few moments, receive activity on all video windows stops, then sending often stops also. There is a new beta Trumpet 1.0b which is apparently available from FTP.TRUMPET.COM.AU as beta/winsock/wsk10b21.zip. This version seems to work well according to many users. 2) Many users (including anyone using NFS) will get the following message: "Error binding to videosend port". This bug will probably be fixed in the very near future. Please keep a look out for a bug-fix for this. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bug Fixes: * Fix for "Error binding to videosend port (1048)" bug. This bug occurred when users were using the UDP socket for something else, like NFS, or Lan Workplace. * Fix "Divide by zero" error when the 'max kbits/sec' preference setting was set to zero. * Sometimes a video window would appear but nothing would show up and the 'Stats' numbers at the bottom of the window would stay at 0. New Features: * Conference ID. Reflectors can be set up to require a conference ID in order to connect (a number from 0 to 65535). If the reflector Conference ID is set to zero, any user with any ID can connect. Otherwise, only users who know in advance the correct conference ID will be allowed to connect. The Conference ID is set in the 'connect' dialog box. * Message-of-the-Day and Reflector-Message. A Window appears when you connect to a reflector (if the reflector is configured with one) telling you relevent information about the reflector and/or any upcoming conference information. The Reflector-Message tells you about any errors that have occurred, such as your code version is too old, or you have the wrong conference ID. * 'Max Open Windows' preferences feature. You can now limit the number of open windows that can be open at one time on your screen. This is most useful if you have limited bandwidth and you want to exclude windows with no relevant activity and keep new windows from popping up automatic- ally. * Video Window positions are remembered between sessions.
