Interesting... this has many possibilities.

True: I don't know how they work. But looking at Franco's example, I thought
that was how they worked? His example opened one, ran his app, then closed
the Mutex when his app ended, so I naturally thought it was some runtime type
of thing.

I'm in Australia, but I used several major worldwide engines for that search, as
you saw. Am I supposed to check many hundreds of sites to find PBToolBox? If
the major sites (Google, Yahoo, AltaVista) don't list it, then it can't be that
popular/well-known. You still haven't said which engine found it for you...
