Well, the Beta version of EM is finally here
There is still a lot to do, but hey, I've only been on it for 3 days.
It appears that EM isn't compatable with XP... I'll work on it.
Currently there are two views as seen in the Pics below.
There will be other views in the future.
Ok, here's how to use it.
Unzip the files and put them anywhere.
Copy the speed.exe and the dll file to all of your F@H2 folders.
Run the speed.exe program on each computer.
This creates a CPU Type/Speed file that EM reads.
It isn't necessary, but it's fun.
Next start EMIII.
You will be shown the options menu.
Press the computer icon to browse to your Folding Folder.
Select the console exe file and press open.
You can also just double-click the file.
As in the other EM programs, you can just drag the console exe file to the text box and drop it... EM will do the rest.
Type a name in the box above the path you just created.
Press the Add button.
While EM no longer requires you to map your network drives, it's a good way to be alerted when you start your computer that systems aren't available. Your choice.
Repeat the above process as many times as you like.
There is a maximum of 50 Folding instances.
I hope your garden is that big.
Now, look at the first window below.
Most info is obvious...but a few things might need clarification.
Hopefully next to the [H] title you will see a green light after 30 seconds, if it turns red then you have a network problem on at least one of your computers. The program may seem to lock up if that happens, but Windows tries for 60 seconds to establish a connection. That connection will be disabled if there is an error. You can try to reestablish a connection by double-clicking the Computer Icon in the bad network box window. The small computer screen will be red indicating a bad connection. Currently the connection will stay red until you fix it and won't reset itself... yet. Also, you will notice a noise. Yep, it's an Elep[H]ant hollering for help...
To get to the options menu press the Electron Microscope button.
To switch between the two different screens, press the "Paper" icon just above the scrollbar. Use the scrollbar buttons to move through your boxen. You can press and hold the buttons and it moves pretty quick. I'll add some better stuff later.
If for some reason a Protein picture isn't being displayed, double click the Protein Image box and unless there is something wrong, it should refresh.
If something goes wrong and you can't seem to fix it or EM doesn't respond for more than a minute, start EM with the -clear command. This will wipe all settings and allow you to start over.
That's it for now... I've got more to do.

Of course you can just post them here as I will read any comments in this thread.
Next update will have the ability to put your title pic at the top, and not just the [H] logo... Forgot about that.
Have fun... Lots more coming soon.
