I saw Pkdate come through with the added file.  Thanks.  But correct me if
I'm wrong, what you released is really not changed source from what was
already sent out?  Just kind of repackaged?

Don't forget Robert Wolfe has sent a lot of files through the filegate. :)

I haven't had time to check those WCF_6* files yet, but if Robert hasn't
sent you an update personally, the files might have possibly come through
the filegate already in the WINSERVER file echo (that's in Win_FDN), or
some others that Robert had released files in.

Just download my files.zip file, and do a grep for Robert Wolfe and you
will see what I mean.

Don't get me wrong, I think it would be GREAT if Robert is indeed sending
you new updates to the files he's already sent out, or if you've updated
source where possible/applicable, otherwise... 

We surely don't expect you to rehatch files that perhaps are new to your
system, but have already been been released, and I don't think you want to
do that either :) :)

Thanks Ben,
Janis
