Re: manually edit onconfig?

I'm a big fan of copying the current settings into the new ONCONFIG file. It gives you a good chance to see the new parameters, like those you mentioned - all of which were available in 11.70.xC5 BTW, so someone used an older ONCONFIG instead of editing the new one last time. By editing the new onconfig.std instead of just reusing the existing ONCONFIG file, you avoid missing out on new parameters which apparently happened there with some previous upgrade. Art Art S.
