Re: Bug in remote file save.

[Mike Baranski]

It was the time issue.  The time was ahead on the remote server by 4 minutes, 
so that fixed it.  Can this option thing be changed?  Some files are on our 
local network, so I can set the machines to have the correct time, but for 
editing really remote files, this can be a problem...  Sorry for the false 
alarm, but thanks for the prompt response.

Mike.
