For me, this proved unusable. When run, it produced a message box every second, saying 'Invalid date 3/12/2003' (or some such date). Because the message boxes were modal, I couldn't get to the main panel (in case there was some way of switching them off). My locale uses a date format of DD/MM/YYYY, so I don't understand the message anyway - and the date was definitely in the past. A shame, I liked the look of this program, but after sixty or so message boxes filling my screen, I terminated it with Task Manager.

peedurr 3/12/2003 could be either DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY. The author uses MM/DD/YYYY on his site ("Program - Modified 09/17/08" - which can only be MM/DD/YYYY) so I'm guessing that his program uses the same format & maybe can't cope with getting the date in a different format.
I think the author might want to know about this issue, his address & phone# are on his website but not an email address!! However, I do have an address for him so I will send him a link to this forum.

I've fixed the month,day,year behavior to accept other formats. The full package has been not been compilted yet, but the roundup.exe is available at http://www.kc2buv.com/Private/fix/Roundup.exe This should be saved in the C:\Roundup folder; overwriting the existing exe. I will have the full package compiled with this fix included, in the next couple of days as part of version upgrade.

Version 6.02.6 (the full package) is posted on the download site: Including the fix for different time formats ... last stored profile loads at launch time and podcast auto downloads are remembered at launch as well. A change in the CBS Podcast xml file is now handled properly by Roundup v6.02.6. Anyone wishing support can email me directly at trlong@sprynet.com with subject header "Roundup Support".
