I've been wondering if there was a demand for this. My initial investigation of
support for passwords leads me to think that it would be a substanial amount of
programming, perhaps including a DLL to be called from JSBWU.  If there is a
lot of interest in this I'll look into this further.  Otherwise this may stay
on the backburner for a while.

Are you talking about showing these multiple workunits at the same time?  Or
have the display rotate, first between workunits on a host and then between
hosts.  I think the second option is more likely than the first.  There are
those who would be opposed to an expansion of the display.

Without a multi-processor system myself the programming will be a challenge. 
You could help me get started by doing the following:
  1) Stop JBSWU
  2) If the window closes (i.e. you started it with an icon set to "close on
exit") then open a new window and change to the drive and directory where
JBSWU_Monitor is located.
  3) Execute "SET WUDUMP=1" in the window
  4) Run JBSWU_MONITOR.CMD as you usually do.
  5) After the first display comes up, stop JBSWU with CTRL+C
  6) In the directory you will find a file RPC.DMP.  Please zip it up and send
it to my email address.  This will give me a sample of the data sent to JSBWU
in a multi-processor, multi-workunit system.  I don't believe there is any
information in the file of a private or sensitive nature in the information. 
But you are welcome to look at it (it's plain text (except possibly a few
unimportant bytes)) and edit it if you see information you don't want to share.
Just don't delete lines.  Instead modify the "sensitive" text to something
innocuous.  And don't edit anything between angle brackets (<...>).  That text
is standard and should have NOTHING personal.  It is critical that I get the
text between the angle brackets exactly as it is received by JBSWU.
  7) To turn off the creation of this file, execute "SET WUDUMP=" before
restarting JBSWU.
