Hi! Björn,

They/it ought to work fine with a left double-click in a Total Commander
panel.  ;)

I could bundle all of the help-type files I have here in my Radius dir, if
you'd like.  Even a PDF that I created once from who-knows-what source.

Bummer.  It got confused maybe with some old binary config file or an errant
INI file.[shrug]

Don't they ever.  I love my semaphore files in Radius.  When my Win98SE &
Fidonet setup was on a real PC, I used to control its operation from my Puppy
Linux PC through semaphores (mirroring my old BATch scripts with new bash
scripts).  I could cause a Radius re-start remotely, even.  8-)

I dunno know either.  Though, I do remember having to use an override for it
for one particular node.

Cheers,
Paul.
