ZA seems to be much easier to configure for permissions than
XPs firewall, maybe that because I began using ZA years ago,
before XP was released.

BTW, just did an ZA update to 6.0.667.000 and noticed a
problem with the popup message window. The Allow and deny
buttons are aligned such that the deny button is only
partially visible at the right edge of the window. This is
on both my W98 and XP computer. The download was done on
each computer. I have sent ZLabs a notice (w screen cap).
