You said... Then, finally, there will be an expanded DxCluster interface which will provide most of the capabilities that my Macintosh program" I want to be able to continue to use VE7CC's CC-User as my interface between DXBase and a DXCluster. That interface is via localhost port xxx (which you have to be able to specify of course). I hope your addition won't preclude this. I can understand that you would like to incorporate your 'Spot' program, however CC-User is really excellent and is regularly updated. Also hopefully you will abandon modifying the 'hosts.' file. It made sense originally, but MS has since then made this a no-no.
