Hi Roger,<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2005/12/18, Peter Selinger <<a href="mailto:selinger@mathstat.dal.ca">selinger@mathstat.dal.ca</a>>:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Hi Roger,<br><br>it looks to me like you are describing a bug in PSP, not in NUT, so<br>this is perhaps the wrong mailing list to ask this question? Perhaps<br>you should ask MGE's technical support.</blockquote><div><br>
Peter is right. We'll follow on privately, but I've kept this mail public as I've found this problem, and I'm working on a fix. <br>
</div>An update will be soon available on the MGE PSP repository.<br>
<br>
Finally note that MGE officially support NUT and the PSP, so you should prefer using the standard support call:<br>
