Product Description:

SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.

What's new in this version:

Fixed an error in the write permissions for the SETI@home_Data directory which sometimes prevented users from running properly unless they have administrator privileges.
Some workunits produce large (> 60KB) result files. Previous versions can't send these files, so users don't get credit (and, since our server doesn't get results, it keeps sending the work units over and over). This is fixed.
Fixes a typo in HTTP headers. We hope this will enable SETI@home to work through transparent proxies.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.2
Mac OS X 10.1

SETI@home won't work - Version: 3.08, 3/21/2004 01:50PM PST

First.
I have been a member of SETI for years, I have completed 1053 units on three successive Macs. I recently switched from a G4 iMac to a G4 iBook and loaded SETI 3.0.8 on the new machine. The program will run but it will not start from a hot corner nor will it start after a specified time. It will only start if I double-click the SETI icon. It will run, thus started, but when I quit the program it promptly forgets all the work it has done.

I am running an iBook G4, 800MHZ, combo drive, 640 MEG RAM. I use Mac OS 10.3.3. SETI ran perfectly on my previous machine, an iMac 800 with 1gig RAM and Mac OS 10.3.2. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a fix?

Second.

My present email address is <uncleclyde@earthlink.net>, previously I completed perhaps 250 units as <UncleClyde@aol.com>. Is it possible for you to add those early units to my present total?
