My current obstacle is the textsw problem. Has anyone found a fix yet? I've made some progress on isolating it but haven't quite got it yet. Debugging is slow because the textsw bug has a tendancy to lock your system up. I'm also planning on fixing the missing LC_MESSAGES prob. Am I reinventing the wheel here? -- Thad Phetteplace Network Systems Analyst, Allen-Bradley Co.
