I cannot help you with your question however your post brings-up one of my
own. You listed NWdos 7.01.15 and I thought that the product NWdos stopped
at 7.0 where Opendos now began at 7.01? Is that correct and are there some
patches accounting for the .15 portion you refferr to in your question?
Thanks,
