Thanks, as always!

By the way, I checked just before I uploaded 1.5.0 how many people had
downloaded 1.4.0 from your website: 175.
So let's see how far 1.5.0 gets before someone finds a bug that forces
me to publish 1.5.1 ...

Question: what are your and other people's experiences concerning
which download site works faster: the Yahoo group or your mirror?

I do know that UPLOADING BC Manager to the Yahoo group takes about 5
1/2 minutes - more or less independent of the speed of my own internet
connection, so those 5 1/2 minutes may be because the Yahoo host is in
the USA and I'm in Europe or so.

A few months ago I considered putting BC Manager at the Wiki site
instead of the Yahoo site (assuming that BC Manager wasn't too big for
that anyway), but then there was a discussion in the Yahoo group about
the Wiki site being slow, so I never looked into that option any
further. I recently saw that the Wike site has a link to your BC-page,
so that's good.

> Love the way it opens(detects) and closes (much faster cleanup).

"Closes"? I suppose you mean the termination of BC Manager as a whole
- I hadn't looked into that at all, actually, but I suppose that the
increased closing speed you've noticed is a result of the fact that an
enabled MIDI input device doesn't take up 2 MB of RAM any more (only
128 kB) - you must have a lot of MIDI input ports (via MIDI Yoke I
presume) if closing works that much faster!

Mark.
