[ARGUS] Then again, perhaps a bug after all ...

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Peter et al,
Ok, so I'll take a serious look at this on Solaris.  Any particular
version?  I have access to a few, but not all.

I'm just now back from a long "on the road" session and its time to
put the final push on argus 3.0.7, which will be the unstable release
that will have the Windows port, 64-bit support and as many fixes as
I can remember to put in.  I would like to have my first serious
pass done next week (wed/thu), but if not finished, I'll put it out
anyway, so we can begin the debugging.  Shouldn't be bad, just making
sure that particular bugs are fixed.

Carter
