went into hibernation.
Build 405
CosC
1. Corrected a problem that could have caused a Windows event to be missed thus causing
dialog-based programs to malfunction. This was seen most often on dual-processor
machines.
Build 404
CosH
1. Corrected a problem that could have caused a crash if an attempt was made to do a dosrw
of more than 2048 bytes. This function is now limited to 1024 bytes.
2. When using the XAP send control you may now enclose a filename in quotes. You must do this
if the name contains blanks.
Build 403

1. SetGlobal memory is now persistent in both directions between enterlevels.
2. Corrected a problem with SetGlobal that could have caused a crash if used with
successive ENTERs.
3. A new method for configuring the directory associated with a spool device has been
implemented. Instead of using the full path you may use an asterisk followed by the Comet
directory name:
Spool = SP1,*SPL; SPL is the directory name. It's path is specified in the DIRECTORIES section
4. Copyfile is now able to copy files from a CometAnywhere workstation to a drive or UNC path
not served by the file server.
5. XAP was pausing too long every time it wrote a large packet to the tcp/ip stack. This time
was shortened making xap web pages perform much better.
Comet.exe
1. Eliminated a debug messagebox that was displayed if a .dll was copied to the client
during Comet startup.
