Silent Runners R42 adds two usability improvements, but adds no
functionality.
Windows 95 SR2 (OEM) - This Windows version, which was never sold at
retail, will now be correctly detected.
Final Popup - The final popup display time has been lengthened from 5
to 20 seconds, which should give users enough time to write down where
the report file is located. Display of the popup does not prevent the
report file from being edited or moved.
The updated script (R42) can be found here:
http://www.silentrunners.org/Silent%20Runners.vbs
A zipped version can be found here:
http://www.silentrunners.org/Silent%20Runners.zip
Thanks again to those users who have provided feedback for improve-
ments. If you ever have any problem with the script, please let me know.
