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.

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.

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.
