Dave - I updated the sparse documentation with information that responds to your points below. I will be happy to work with you (or anyone) to ensure the utility can be understood for productive usage.
http://Nebula-RnD.com/freeware/SRAT_README.txt (Look for "28-Feb-2012 Update") I did not fill in the jBase-specific bits of code myself (I've only used it for D3 so far) so I'm particularly interested in helping anyone who wants to get this fully working for jBase - and then of course I'd like to roll all changes back into the freeware source package! Regards, T From: David Grenfell Tony: Thanks for this. I am assuming that both R83 and Jb must be up and running at the same time to use this. I just installed jb and r83 on to the same box so obviously can only run one at a time. I will however, be obtaining jb 4.x shortly, so will put it on another box and Accuterm also. I will keep you informed of progress.
