Index of Subjects Hi John... everybody... The ip stuff really needs a good review... long time followers of CSuite will probably realize that although CSuite 1.0 is based on the software we were running here at CCN, we never actually ran CSuite on a production sytem until just a couple of months ago... this brought it's own series of challenges... superimposing CSuite on top of data structures that were conceived before CSuite was conceived.... While user account creation, and office administration functions are used almost every day, the creation of IP's is less frequent and as a result we are just coming to temrs with it. Here at CCN for some reason (probably to get a new version of spam resistamt zmailer running) ...we abandoned the majordomo aliasing system that we had been using all along, and that is included in CSuite 1.0 That means that once again we're a little out of step with the rest of the world... the likelyhood is that these new changes will find their way into the next version of CSuite (don't get excited just yet... ;-) The problem with the 'i?' is that the header was not getting installed at the top of the info/ips.html file. The rest of the links work but... without the header... At CCN the script that was re-building ips.html was leaving the header off and cat-ing the rebuilt file to the end of the previous file... as a result ips.html was growing to significant size and for the most part broken... I must confess I discovered this on a day when I had a lot going on and I simply hacked it together to get it working... there's a sed call in CS_LIB/mk-ipjumpfile that seemed to be the problem... ----- I'm going to send a brief tutorial on debuging CSuite as a separate posting... david potter On Sun, 6 Dec 1998, John Nemeth wrote: > On Nov 25, 1:14pm, "David L.
