Hi Norman,

I suggest that the solution is to use the latest QMAC and make sure Quanta delivers with the latest version. > I've now tried a quick qmake on the smsq sources configured for dev8_ and > guess what, the version of QMAC that I have doesn't like <TAB> characters in > it's source file. And the source is full of files with <TAB>s in : > AAARRRRRGGGGHHHH !!! Uh, one of the other features I asked for MANY, MANY years ago when I implemented the TAB compression in QD. You should definitely get the latest QMAC, Norman. Cheers Jochen
