Rush 102.42 was released on 07/11/2005 -- upgrade is Free.
Just contact me directly via email ( erco@(email surpressed) ) to get the upgrade.

It is advised that companies with large networks take note of this release..
it will greatly simplify network traffic and responsiveness under especially
heavy load.

The features in this release:

	o Jobs now restart correctly even job has unknown hostnames
	o Much better handling of large numbers of jobs and cpus
	o Floating point frame numbers now supported in rush/irush
	o Negative frame numbers now supported in rush/irush
	o New submit scripts for Combustion, 3dsmax, Mantra
	o Irush now allows character-at-a-time cut+paste from the log window
	o rush client avoids doing DNS lookups on entire rush/etc/hosts file
	o +hostgroups and criteria are now case insensitive
	o rushtop now creates less network traffic due to smaller 'rush -status' reports
	o donemail/dumpmail now includes 'Frame Info' report
	o Jobs with 'waitfor's for finished jobs now start correctly

Also:
	o 'rush -tss/-trs' now accepts optional 'csh' or 'perl' arguments

	o 'rush -rotate' now takes optional 'cpu.acct' argument to rotate accounting files

	o 'rush -catlog cpu.acct' can be used to process remote accounting files.
	  See: http://www.seriss.com/rush.102.42/rush/rush-command-line-options.html#-catlog

	o Fixed a problem with rushd not reloading a new license.dat file if steady stream
          of traffic was being sent to daemon.

	o Renderer output is now buffered through logtrim(1) to greatly improve
          I/O load on the file server

	o Submit scripts now allow multiple hostnames in the 'Submit Host' field
	  so that jobs will automatically be submitted to a pool of job servers

	o Fixed various copy/paste problems in irush

	o New config file option lets you add '.txt' to all log filenames.
	  See: http://www.seriss.com/rush.102.42/rush/rush-conf.html#FrameLog_Ext

 	o Added 'framepad' to rush.conf, to allow control of global frame
	  padding value used in all of rush. See:
