That's exactly what that setting "enables". When the        DIFF arives, OXP processes the DIFF.                      AA>> The English help is a bit closer because it says "...to        AA>> process the diff update".               MF> Yes but it says "OpenXP will call its own nodelist        MF> processor to process the diff update". Well yes, it will,        MF> but that doesn't describe the true purpose of this        MF> particular option.              Huh? Isn't the "true purpose" to tell OXP that it is OK to        kickstart the nodelist updates when a new DIFF arrives?              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.49        * Origin: The ONLY point that matters! --> . <-- (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 129/305 154/10       SEEN-BY: 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 664       SEEN-BY: 229/1016 1017 240/2100 5138 5411 5824 5832 5853 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 249/400 280/464 5003 282/1038 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2432/390 2452/250 2454/119       PATH: 221/1 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
