D2OL Daddy
was a Graphical User Interface that sat in the user's
Windows tray and monitored the
D2OL and
CommunityTSC clients to make
sure their processes were running at the lowest possibly priority. "This should
greatly reduce and in many cases entirely eliminate the choppy/slow response
from other software while D2OL/TSC is running on your machine. It will even
monitor and control multiple copies of D2OL/TSC running on the same machine."
Version 1.0 of the client was available as of September 10, 2004. |

ECC2-109 GUI
provided a graphical way for Windows users to start,
stop, and run the ECC2-109 official
client software or the ecc2109c
replacement client software. It showed the user how many distinguished points
he or she had found and how fast the distinguished points were being found, and
displayed benchmarking information about the user's system.
The ECC2-109 or ecc2109c client was run in a separate DOS window or as a service, so the user could still watch the client window directly when it was running. Version 0.91 of the tool was available as of June 1, 2003. |

it allowed the user to start and stop remote instances and to edit the .cfg file
via the GUI.
The ECC2-109 client was run in a separate DOS window or as a service, so the user could still watch the client window directly when it was running. Version 0.2 of the tool was available as of November 20, 2002. |

Distributed Folding and Find-a-Drug clients. It was available as an
