Unreserve question
 
I realize that I was insufficiently careful. I did let P95 make backups and I did back up the backups by hand occasionally, but I should've put _those_ backups offline.
My computer recently became .. compromised. I really wasn't able to run anything with confidence and Gimps wasn't at the top of my priorities so I didn't think to save my working (and queued) exponents before I re-installed WinXP. Now the computer acts clean and shiny, but I hate holding on to that work. Can I retrieve it to unreserve it? I haven't yet installed the new P95 on that machine, so it is possible that it would magically connect to the work it had been doing, but that seems unlikely.
I will be grateful for any advise or suggestions.

Well you could just wait 60 days until they expire themselves OR you could include your userid and the man-in-charge could do it for you. My guess is with all the goings on since the upgrade he may prefer the first option.

Thank you. My id is hb2math and the computer name was probably "first Acer" but I wouldn't want to swear to that. I have a few other computers that are also running and I'm upgrading them to the new version now.

Was hb2math your v4 username? Go ahead and create your new v5 id + password (if you haven't already), and then link your v4 account (presumably, this would be hb2math). I would think that your assigned exponents would then show up under your "Assignments" report, from which you could delete the unwanted exponents one-by-one.

Incidentally, I kind of wince at the thought of unreserving any exponent assigned to me...I mean, what if I unreserve an M47-to-be??!
