Actually now that I think about it even that is not correct :). Sorry
for disconnecting on you. At any rate, I used the first header that was
settled on. But the QAC need to discuss this issue thoroughly and
settle on something definitive :)
At any rate, the base-config file is now committed, error free, using
the header form of the plurlization policy Arabeyes has always used:
1: 1 and 0
2: 2
3: 3 <= n <= 10
4: n > 10
When we make modifications to the header the file will be changed
accordingly. I'm conversing with Isam as we speak :)
Thanks again Christian
Abdulaziz,
