A big "Thank you" to Chris and everyone whose input facilitated
ver 1.5.3.
I have upgraded to this version and my client using Opera are now
a happy lot, since they don't have to operate M$ outhouse and Opera
in tandem (or was it side-by-side?).

A few questions: 
              1. Where does tpop3d write the cached info? As in what is
                 the path of the destination file?
              2. How do I measure the improvement created by using the
                 new auth cacheing system? I have one of those busy
                 servers and I've enabled this cache mechanism.
              3. On my servers, tpop3d has never been a resource hog
                 before. Now, how to I gauge what a 'heavy load' situation is?
                 Chris has noted that one of the functionality pluses in the new
                 version is "Improved performance under heavy load".


        cheers
