Re: QtmWrStout parameters

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Brad, I do use YAJL where I can, unfortunately some of my customers
don't keep up with PTFs, or Version/Release so I have to build one version
that is lacking.  DATA-INTO etc are out for now at least in one version.

Maybe a better question is will YAJL go back to V5R4?  I think V6R1 was the
oldest Scott set it up for.
