Re: Varying - Inz mandatory?

["Peter Dow" <maillist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Isn't it possible to simply change the severity of the compiler message in
the message file?  Keep a copy of the msgf higher in the library list and
change it there.  Or if the compiler is hardcoded to get it from a
particular library, back it up and modify it.
