The only changes we made were in the FD and the plugin and in the library. As long as he is running the FD stand alone, he will have all the new code. > > If someone was testing my software and came up with a problem that I > couldn't easily explain or reproduce, the first question I'd ask is are > you running the latest version.

The 2.5.44 FD *if* it is on a separate machine is OK, otherwise there will be a library conflict with libbac.so Obviously the ideal situation is that everything is on the same version ...
