v3.5 [Jan 26, 2015]
3.5 (01/25/15) - Seventeenth Public Release
-----
B - Finally found and eliminated the Network Scan Bug - this bug affected certain processors under certain situations, and caused
the Network Scan to never finish
B - Fixed screen size issues and fonts for Windows 8 and above
B - Folder or Server IP was limited to 32 chars - now unlimited
A - Running LAN Speed Test from Command Line /D2 (Just Status Bars) or /D3 (Silent) now suppresses all errors (no longer waits
for an acknowledgement from the user - just log it, if required, and continue)
C - Wait Time between tests is now 1-3600 seconds instead of 1-60 seconds
A - Add read and write times to Log
C - Update clear cache routine - much faster

v3.1 [Oct 26, 2012]
B - In certain situations (Win7 to Win7 shared folder), the timer would stop after the packet was sent to the local
cache instead of the drive's cache. This would cause the write results and throughputs to show a lot faster
than it should.
B - In certain situations (Win7 to Win7 shared folder), the last packet being read was already cached and would cause
the read results and max throughput to show faster than it should.

v2.0.8 [Jul 16, 2010]
Display processor speed
Advanced Configuration Screen for fine tuning the network tests
Updated the routine that calculates the processor speed
Fixed window dimensions for Windows 2003 Server
