Downloaded and installed the new beta files. I get a new error message now
when trying to set a channel.  That error is :

Bad cmd: "Item_Set"

The problem is a "partial" beta.
I have just uploaded a new one to
http://omnipotencesoftware.com/ecsb.zip
with all *.EXE's and *class's.
This upload is for WINDOWS only.
