   My RC's system was one of those OS/2 systems that crashed when I enabled   
   it. 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> 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

   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.
