Thanks, fixed.

I have fixed this, somewhat....

The problem is that verse can run multiple sessions using only one port 
and some may be  clients and some hosts.
(There is actually one new limitation in R4: you cant have two 
applications, with more then one connection between them...I dont know 
why any one would want to do that...)

we may add some API calls to check what port you get. that way we can 
get away form the exit(0).

You are right, I just fixed it.

Thanks fixed that too.

I havent had time to test you app yet but calling the same commands in 
Connector works fine... It might be a problem that doesnt show up the 
easily in windows.... Ill look in to it.

I have added a few new thing like timing stuff and some new animation 
code i hope to get it out by tomorrow.

Cheers
