    jc>>> Some people stated (unless I am misunderstanding) that they paid   
    jc>>> for the 1000 node Linux version, got the key, and the software does   
    jc>>> not even execute on Linux.   
      
    ml>> no... the problem is that it cannot perform domain name lookups   
    ml>> because it uses an old method that is no longer supported by the   
    ml>> newer libs... it works just fine with IP numbers, though...   
    ml>> especially since there is no DNS lookup for them ;)   
      
    RW>> DNS lookups in the Windows version works just fine.

    RW> Since there are 4 OS versions of Rex, please state in your messages   
    RW> which one you're referring to. Telling a Win OS user that Rex

    RW> a-stray.    
      
   if they read all of the message or thread, they should be able to tell which   
   was being discussed... the original that i commented to is still above and   
   specifically states linux ;)   
      
   but i do see your point...
