	Why does the combined credit for "names" stop at 4,294,967,295? There are four stopped at that number? Just wondering. ____________

	I don't know where you see this but 2^32 = 4294967296 so 4,294,967,295 is the max unsigned integer number (0xFFFFFFFF) that can fit in 32 bits (4 bytes) ____________ - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)

	As that list is maintained by Boincsynergy perhap it might be better to post here: http://www.boincsynergy.com/forums/index.php ____________
