This is a good oportunity to answer this.
I did discover a bug in CoSTa around 2nd January. It had real problems with the
fact that 1996 is a leap year. I fixed it, and e-mailed all registered users
with the fix ASAP. 
I also sent it to Danny at Hensa. He has uploaded the fixed version (1.34) in
the last couple of days.
The moral of this story is: either download the NEW version from Hensa (or
register :-) )
Registering will ensure you get sent the latest version when it's available.
The delay of waiting for it to appear on Hensa is about 3 weeks (no offence
Danny).

BTW, CoSTa now supports NOS, CoNnect2,MiNTnet,and CixComm.

Regards, Gary.

p.s. version 1.34 and above fix the above problem.
