He's reluctant to use it now and I can't really blame him.               NB> The fixed version has been out for awhile now and nothing is being        NB> done. None of the ZCs run OS/2 which was where the problem was in the        NB> first place.              No...if that were just a ZC problem then it would have been implemented       once the OS/2 version was fixed. But there are at least two RCs that I       know of who use OS/2. That would be more of a problem, since they're       compiling every net in the region. The ZC1 has only to compile it with 10       region segments.               NB> The ZCs could have still enabled it, since it IS top-down and all.        NB> This may have given the RCs in question still running their antique        NB> software the extra push needed to make the update on their ends too,        NB> but it has yet to be tried.              I know that my RC has used it and it crashed his system...which is why       he's still using NLmake. Enabling allowunpub gives that software fits.                      R\%/itt                     --- GoldED+/W32 1.1.5-31012       --- D'Bridge 3.92        * Origin: South Texas Hub - Gulf Coast Backbone (1:387/22)    |
