OK, the roller is at http://www.buckbd.com/games/jex.exe and the receiver is http://www.buckbd.com/games/JexNexus.jar
The guy who originally asked me to write the die roller wanted something that wouldn't take up much space on the screen (and I agreed that was a fine idea), so the Setup is accessed through the system menu, by clicking on the little die icon in the upper left corner of the die roller window. By default, the networking is inactive, so to use it you have to open that menu and chose Setup....
Enter the address of computer running the JexNexus server in the Addr. box and enter the name of the character in the Name box (can leave it blank, if you want - this is reported to JexNexus with the roll).
Then check the Send Results box and hit OK. This will set it to send all die rolls to JexNexus.
This version of jex by default displays all the programmable roll screens (which can be saved and loaded in Setup) when it starts but you can turn them off in Setup if you want. It's almost a like a mini character sheet if you use all of it. On the downside, the dialog labels don't format right on some displays and it uses 3E rules - don't know if anything changed in 3.5.
JexNexus is much simpler. It displays its current IP address and it has a button "Copy my address". If you click on that, it copies the computer's IP address onto the clipboard and you can paste it into the chat program to tell players what address to set their jexes for. "Hide/Show IP" hides and shows the sender's IP address, and "Clear" will clear accumulated rolls from the display.
Hope it helps (and isn't too complicated
)
