[Dxspider-support] problem with user_asc after upgrade

[Simone]

Hi Dirk, many thanks for your fast reply.
I did it again.
Rsynced the entire directory.
Made a CVS update
removed users.v2 ( and .v3) and then : perl user_asc  and create_qsl.pl
Now it seems ok. it shows v1.52 build 61.489
I'm ready to start with the new machine.
Tnx again Dirk
