   Hello Martin,   
      
   On 25.03.19, you wrote to August Abolins:   
      
    MF> Found another one .....

   Well... it *is* a point program, so.. to me that implies that it *expects* to   
   operate as a 5D machine, and communicate with a Boss(es) only.   Every message   
   it creates internally will be 5D.   
      
   ..and therefore, every Uplink and/or System has to be a 4D Boss(?)   
      
   However, as I write this, there *is* a Crashmail option at the top of this   
   internal editor window.  So, could that imply that it can call/poll *any*   
   other open (no session password) system that would accept Crashmail?   If so,   
   then maybe it can do what you would think, but for some reason, the config is   
   wrong somewhere?
