        I haven't tried 1.05 as the 1.2 for Windows NT command line
        version is considerably faster than the GUI ones, but the
        latter, and the 1.2 Linux version both happily work through
        Squid 2.2S3. I've had about 35 batches turned round through
        this route over the last three or so weeks, mainly from Linux.
        The NT command line version reportedly works on Win 98, but not
        Win 95.

        Note that they generate broken responses that squid will treat
        as HTML 0.9, and Apache mutilates - they feed back the request
        headers, including the POST line, rather than sending proper
        HTTP 1.0 headers. I've sent this to their black hole, sorry
        bug report, address, but not the Apache case as I only discovered
        that later. (The will not tolerate the proxy adding any headers.)

        Also, the syntax for the proxy is not properly documented for the
        command line versions; it is -proxy <host>:<port>
