Tools needed to modify Potatoware

VB Compiler
RProcess uses a VB6 compiler, but does not use its extended/new  functionalities for compatibilty purposes.
VB5 is good enough., there is only 1  instruction in .vbp which make VB5 choke.
Just remove it: it is useles anyways.

Ocx
All .ocx necessary at execution time are packaged with Potatoware.
To recompile, you will need the ones which need it to be licensed.
They are:
    JBN:
        Catalyst Socket Tool (V3)
        IP*Works! ActiveX Edition Version 2.0
    Reliable:
        Catalyst Socket Tools  (V3)

None are available any more from their respective company's site:
IP*Works: devSoft Inc. - Download Trial Software
Catalyst: Download SocketTools Enterprise Edition

There is a procedure for online registration and payment.
RProcess had enless problems with IPWorks genuine registration....

I also have all that stored at
    Catalyst: http://yi.org/frogadmin/DownLoadsX/Ocx/st31ve32.exe (build 3.10.3128)
    IPWorks: http://yi.org/frogadmin/DownLoadsX/Ocx/setup.exe (2.0)

Do not register Catalyst Socket Tools  (V2): you would have endless trouble to switch to (V3).
    (I formatted my HD, but formatting HD is standard routine to me.....).

Version information (Reliable only)
RProcess insists on you modifying the version information, as displayed through remailer-conf / remailer-stats queries.
It is just fair to comply (It is in the GNU micence agreement too).
Go for the main.bas module

Attribute VB_Name = "Main"

Public Const IDE = False 'Set to False to compile
Public Const Version = "1.0.5" 'Add your version designator here

Which I changed for:

Public Const Version = "1.0.5 Frog" 'Add your version designator here

I also modified the caption in the main.frm
    From "Reliable" to "Reliable 1.0.5 Frog" or "Reliable 1.0.5 Azerty"
Besides boosting my ego, it was handy when I was running those 2 remailers at the same time...
And RProcess *explicitly* asks for it too...
