Re: [Dynapi-Help] couple of things...

[Seb <se...@sy...>]

I've checked the lists a while, problem being that they jump back 
various versions pretty quickly.. not many posts regarding the dynapi 3 
for instance...  I'll fix up the code to remove privacy concerns and 
send it off here, what's the policy on attachments? Better yet i'll just 
up it to a server somewhere..  Not now though cause this vnc is 
hellishly slowish.
