Hi Kevino,

New versions looks good and all of the previously mentioned problems are =
fixed.

New issues,=20
  1.. The course page can't be edited. Whenever I double click on it or =
click the edit button, it brings up the page properties window. When you =
publish, the page can't be found. Another funny thing about this is it =
point to the "file" directory. Perhaps related to #2

  2.. If you use the "No Frames" theme and publish, the index.htm file =
redirects the page to the "file" directory, where this isn't a =
default.htm/index.htm. A little strange.

  3.. I switched back to the "Frames" theme and published, everything =
looks fine (except #1). However, when you use the Search (I used the =
Swish-e ) an error comes up, Zlib.dll is missing. I copied it in from an =
older eclass, and then got the message "index.swish-e" was missing. As =
this is a Project specific file, It wouldn't do me much good to copy it =
in. I then copied in the entire CGI-bin directory from a previous =
version and got more errors, so obviously this is not the solution. =
Ideas?

  4.. Funny thing about #1, If you open a course previously created in =
another version of Eclass, you can edit the course page.
That's a start, I will re-install and see if I can help pinpoint #3.
