That may be the problem. I dunno if my RC is keeping up with the thread.
What I do know is that I have to block certain keywords in my CTL file
until he gets a working environment with MNL instead of NLM.

As Janis has pointed out (I wasn't aware), they're working that out in the
RC-exclusive echo. Had I been made aware I could have continued to ask him
to keep trying it.

Unfortunately, it is two RCs who run an OS that isn't compatable with the
software. If it were me, I'd change to an OS that's known to work and
follow up with making sure that the OS/2 version worked before going back
to it. With all of the junk computers around, that shouldn't be too hard
to do.

 RW>> and why are the results of that new release kept from the other RCs?

 KvE>  Ask the two RC's, how would I know.

You said that the RCs that have it working on OS/2 systems have kept it a
secret, how do you know that? Just asking, mind you.
