You can ignore them completely or twiddle with some        PQ> settings. YMMV.               i can't remember if my memory sequence was ART or RAT to keep them straight       for the original to the second and then Taurus which i know was third... i       keep wanting to say that Argus was first and then Radius... especially when i       have this readme in my OLDRADIUS directory...               ENG:        If you update from the other Argus clone or Argus        or from Radius version less than 4.009-23.06.2002        then you SHOULD *recompile* your nodelists!!              [time passes]              ahh! digging about, i found a FAQ in my oldradius directory...              1.1 Q: Radius vs Argus. Differences, advantages, disadvantages.        A: Radius is based on Argus version 3.210 code. It implements all        the same functions as Argus does. A lot of parameters are moved        to a text configuration file from the Windows registry (HOMEDIR        for example). Thus you can use independent settings on the same        computer without changing the "home path" parameter in the        registry. Also some features were added and some Argus bugs        fixed. You may read this in HISTORY file. These are Radius        advantages. Its disadvantages are its own bugs, full adapted        help and support absences.              sadly i don't have a similar TAURUSFAQ file... oh well...              so the phrase to remember is "They are a work of ART" ;)              on-topicizer: to answer your question, yes, radius introduced the ini files...       argus stored everything in the registry...              [quote="radius/history.eng"]       ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ               Radius history by        Denis Voituk [2:5012/38, radius |
