             No pseudo-French spellings, please!   
      
    JK>> In Z1Regcon, we've been discussing Makenl_NG's problems with the Z1   
    JK>> R17C and R19C who are still having problems, and Andrew I believe is   
    JK>> working on a fix...   
      
    JK>> R17C's problem may have been fixed by running a DOS version of   
    JK>> 3.4.1, we're waiting to hear about that.   
      
    KvE>  So why is he switching to a dos version now. If that works he could   
    KvE> have done so last year. That would have saved a lot of work tracking   
    KvE> down a bug in the Wattcom compiler. Or is there a hope, that now thw   
    KvE> OS2 version works, some flaw can be found with the DOS version. He   
    KvE> should try his magic cut and paste function.

    KvE>  There are no problems in makenl_ng, the software has been in   
    KvE> development for almost 10 years. You have been using it for at least   
    KvE> four. There is no software in the world that has such a long lead   
    KvE> time.   
      
    KvE>  What will happen if there are no more excuses on the RC level, are   
    KvE> the tests then extended to the Host level. Many of them have to be   
    KvE> compliant as well if they are to supply a net segment to the RC's.   
      
   A much easier and more logical solution would be to assign the region   
   segment compilation to a system that doesn't crash and have the file sent   
   to the RC for upload to the ZC...   
      
    KvE>  For the other zones to be able to switch only you have to be able   
    KvE> to process the composite list with allowunpub enabled.   
    KvE>  The Zone 2,3,4 segments are not processed by RC17 nor by RC19.   
      
    KvE>  If you enable allowunpub when processing the composite list,   
    KvE> fidonet outside Z1 can move on, and you have all the time in the   
    KvE> world to sort out how to get makenl working. Now I have the feeling   
    KvE> we are led by the nose.   
      
   Sounds like it.   
      
    KvE>  With aplogies for losing my temper.   
      
   Keep your cool...but don't be afraid to sound off when the need arises.
