Re: How to retrieve PRTF overrides ?

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,

 You sure there's nothing in TAA that does that? Man it sounds 
familiar.  It does look like you Might be able to get the info from 
dspovr if you specify Merge(*no) but it looks like you need to know the 
current call level to make that work.
