What's new with SLwho


Verision 1.5.7
Version 1.57 released. This is a bug fix.  The key database service slwho used to use has gone under so its been switched to w-hat.com's servers now.  As well, on the www.slwho.com webpage at the left, there is a testing button to check the status of the system.  As long as it doesn't say error or BUSY the system is running fine.
