The language.ltf file is located in the lang subdirectory off the main max
install directory under OS/2.  Based on other issues we hit with the port,
I suspect the path isn't specified correctly for pointing ot the language
file (english.ltf in my case) or there may be a case issue with the file
name (code expecting a certain mixed case, and the actual file having a
different case, possibly all in lower case).  Interesting...  I just looked
for Oracle in my linux build and didn't find the binary.  The source is
under the util source subdirectory.  I don't think I have the latest CVS
extracted, but the version I have looks like it currently does not compile
an executable for oracle.

Nope....  Running a DOS, NT or OS/2 based system?

It won't change unless someone checks in changes.....  I wonder if Bo is
listening in on this conversation?

Let's see, area code 860?  Where are you located?  Conneticut (sp?)?  I see
1:142 and 1:320 as nets showing NC's with your area code.

Do you have a copy of the the latest nodelist?  Need any help in making
contact?  I assume you have netmailed the appropriate NC.

Take care.....
