New SlinkX Version

Hi Everyone-

I've been very busy since I came back from my vacation, so I apologize for not being able to respond to the many emails I received right away. I will get to them all eventually.

I have released a new version of the ActiveX Control and Server to correct a memory leak problem and add some small features. The new version of the server creates and icon in the tray by the clock. If you left click it, you will get the server panel. Click it again and it hides away. If you start the server manually, it will stay around until you close it manually. If a SlinkX Control starts it, it will only stay around until all of the objects are freed.

By putting slinkserv in your startup folder it will be loaded and ready for any SlinkX programs you might want to run without the usual delays of identifying the Slink-e. I hope to switch CDJ over to this server in less than a week, which would then make slinkserv the universal interface to the Slink-e.

Here the slinkserv revlog.txt if you'r interested.
