special kit from Saiga for your site and this may introduce some lag time for installations and patches. On smaller systems this user defined value for the number of process spaces preallocated can significantly reduce the amount of memory that Hitman's detached process uses as well as paging.</div> <div> (2)  V8 required a module be compiled and linked into Hitman. V9 provided support for a special exit for one image using a set of logical names. V9.1 and V10 now support multiples special exits based on the path of the image a process is running.</div> <div> (3)  This facility allows you to backup your parameters as a DCL command procedure. It helps with parameter file distributions via the internet and makes mass changes to your parameters possible using a standard text editor.</div> <div> (4)  A literal name may now be entered by preceeding it with a ":" - all Hitman checks for validity of usernames will be bypassed.</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
