Re: [Quickfix-users] Some general question about this message-list

Just check the Lists section of http://sourceforge.net/projects/quickfix/, perhaps you can
enter new messages here. Currently, the access to sourceforge lists seems to give ERRORS so I
cannot try this myself.

Yes, the search function of sourceforge is always on the left side, immediately below the login
section. It is context sensitive, that is if you are viewing mailing lists you can search inside
the current list. It took me some time to get aware of this unexpected location of the search function...

See my answer to the first message.

I think the quickfix-users list was intended for users developing applications with QuickFIX, but there
is nearly no traffic in this lists since all questions related to the usage of QuickFIX are also
discussed in the developers list which is probably intended for the development of QuickFIX. So the best
would be to post all your questions on the developers list.
Just my experience -- I hope I do not speak against your policy, Oren.

Cheers, Jörg
