| 1-4a Rename tries to connect to
the internet every time you start it.
It tries to download this file :
http://www.1-4a.com/rename/ver.txt
This file is a short text, that is displayed,
if your version is older than the actual version.
To stop this downloading just start as
"rename.exe /noc"
instead of "rename.exe"
(Click here if you
don't know how to do it.)
In the next version I will make something
better. Some users had complaints, that their
browsers or dial-up connections start up or
their firewall alarm bells ring.
A workaround is to allow or to disallow internet access for
1-4a Rename or to disable "Dial
whenever a network connection is not
present" or Dial-On-Demand or a similar
option within the browser or Windows.
However, you will never add or lose any
functionality.
When I implemented this behaviour, I didn't
realize that some of the users would notice that
at all or wouldn't know how to start a program
from the command line. I am sorry for the
inconvenience.
