Hello Everyone,

Well a few bug fixes and feature enhancements have been incorporated into the latest version of dfQ.

The "single results file" format from version 1 is no longer used in this version. If you have had problems uploading results from this file (i.e. Uploader did not work for any reason) let me know, and I will release a small service app to upload these results.

From the whatsnew.txt file:

1) Can now shut-down cleanly.
To stop a dfQ application run the appropriate ExitDfQ*.bat file,
or delete the dfQ.lock file in the appropriate directory.

2) Better error-reporting.

3) Finer granuality for file transfers / IO operations.
Costs more in terms of IO, but keeps memory usage down and
can avoid unnecessary duplicates in the case of errors.

4) Supports unlimited size archiving.

5) File-names and formats have been slightly changed from version 1:
- .s_dfq files are now .dfq files
- .dfq files located at the Client are also valid .dfq files
- .dfq files located at the Server MAY be valid .dfq files.
If clients were always successful at uploading files
to the server then they should all be valid
- .dfq files located at the Uploader most likely aren't
compatable with the new .dfq file format
- new archive file: .a_dfq (can be of unlimited length).
