The entire program has basically been "re-written" using an updated programming language, and totally new Internet controls About 2,000+ lines of code were changed, and a massive testing effort to ensure nothing broke in the process. If anything suddenly stops working, please let me know immediately.

As a result, AutoWinNet95 is much faster now, has no pallette conflicts with other programs, the runtime Internet transfers are cleaner, and you'll notice an big overall performance boost.
