ANNOUNCEMENT:
      We are beta testing DIPS, a new free service that might be
      quite useful to some of you. Check it out at
             http://DIPS.home.ml.org/

--------------------------------------------------------------------
  DynamIP v3.30 beta 3 comes with the new VB5 (SP3) controls (included
  in VB5 ServicePack 3). Installation of this new version of DynamIP
  updates all your older controls! This may cause some of your other
  installed programs to malfunction or not to start at all, especially
  if they rely on a particular version of a control/library. For a list
  of controls that come with DynamIP please visit
      http://DynamIP.home.ml.org/DynamIPrequirements.htm
  You may want to backup your old controls BEFORE you install
  DynamIP so that you can reinstall them if you decide that you
  don't want to keep DynamIP on your system (note that uninstalling
  DynamIP will NOT reinstall your previous controls automatically).
