    (I didn't produce the VB6 Portable. Considering I have a license, I use it as a utility at school.)

    So it has to display all of them? That takes longer then writing a file

    user 0m30.738s
    sys 0m4.768s

    I'm pondering if I should do it or not... because your 9PM is a lot different for me (6AM)

    Can you send confirmation e-mail to those who sent you stuff? I only ask this because gmail does not like sending binaries, so I sent it in a 7zip archive last night.

    that would be a good idea (may for future contests though )

    What I did to send all the files (including *.exe files) is zipping all the files just as you normally would do, and then change the extension to something else. I believe I changed it to*.zap for this competition.
    All the receiving person has to do is changing the extension back to the original.
    I think that would be the most easy way to send *.exe (or other prohibited) files via gmail...

    Doesn't work with gmail, they actually check the file structure , ran into that problem/figure that out a long time ago. You actually have to send them in a compression format that they (google) can't read.

    Hmm, in that case I would most definately like to know if my mail actually was sent.

    When I tried to send an *.exe file I got a message that for safety things... bla bla... could not send message.
    Same thing happened when I zipped the files (*.zip)

    but with the extension changed to *.zap I got no message telling me it was not safe or anything...

    [edit]: Sent myself an email to confirm what I just said: Message pops up only with *.exe and *.zip. NOT with *.zap.
    Also, when I changed the extension of the received file (at an other email account) back to *.zip it worked as it was supposed to work, I could read the zipped files...
    maybe they had a change in policy?

    Good find, its hard to believe Google would change from a superior screening process to a "stupider" one.

    OK, I don't know if you managed to get my submission before my server fell over... I'll email them in an archive if you haven't got them, just let me know.
