I show an email from Dec. 2000 discussing the issue. The resolution was that all code that interfaced to the Macraigor DLL would be removed. We did not have a problem with this. Macraigor moved to using a LibRemote daemon. Any left over code such as ser-ocd.c is not used by Macraigor any more. The issue of the DLL has been long since resolved. I thought that all parties to the issue were happy with the outcome. Is there some remaining issue to be resolved? Pete. Macraigor Systems LLC.
