Hi, Yeah, I had given up on this a while back, after many late nights of
adjusting this, adjusting that, re-installing the bioapi system etc etc.
Bioapi stuff works everywhere else, so I figure all permissions etc on
it is ok. I am now waiting for the open source bioapi stack to be
completed (they are close), then at least I can trace the code, add some
debug messages and track the issue down.
Many thanks for the help.
