Re: V6R1 issue the rest of the message.

Hi Simon,

I hit send by accident on a message a few minutes ago.

My partner who wrote this code is deceased. I'm able to fix/change most
normal user application level stuff in C with some struggling, but some
of the lower level tool type functions he wrote are confusing to me.
Fortunately there hasn't been much that needs changing because this C
code is all server stuff and 95% of the application is client stuff that
I wrote in RPG. I do use APIs in RPG but then I'm doing so with an
understanding of what I need going in. This I don't understand.

Could you please suggest a change to this code which replaces that which
you view as no longer able to work. I've removed the reference to
PC_DOS. I'll be doing this at V4R5.

Thank you for your enlightenment so far and for anything you might
further suggest.
