It should be much stronger than 1.5.
Please see the readme file for the list of changes.
Thanks Edsel for the engine!

I have a question: is it possible to write no logfile?

best wishes
Werner
No, but we should add that option.

As a workaround you can "write protect" the "log.txt". Thats what I do whith 30 running executables out of the same folder :-)


Edit: and checking it I realize that id doesnt work. Its already 40 MB ...

Ponder worked fine on my testing so I am hopeful, though issues are always possible if you are using a different interface than I tested on.

Thank you very much for this excellent gift

I am a bit suprised. This is the first engine to write to a write protected file. I am pretty sure that 1.4 did not do this ... don't know about 1.5 ...

Actually I am more worried that this is possible with a write protection flag set in W7 Enterprise at all!!!

I am not susre what happened but ...

Originaly I set the write protection AFTER all excecutables where allready running and forgot about it. I checked later and found a 40 MB file.

Now I stopped ALL excecutables, removed the write protection, deleted everything inside, set the write protection again and started the all exes again.
For a very short moment something was writing in the file (28kb in total) and now I have for 35 minutes nothing. It looks like Windows 7 learned that it should not allow something to write into the log file :-)

It work now but I have no idea why it did not in the first place and why it is doing what I want now ... ???
