I'll make sure the engineer who wrote the code sees your feedback. Thanks for researching it.

So in summary, the server does not update the ztmp file if the original changes. IE: Server admins will need to remember to delete off old ztmp files if they update content on their servers. qUiCkSiLvEr ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric Smith To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2003 7:17 PM Subject: RE: [hlds] .ztmp files I would guess the .ztmp file is recreated if the file changes, but since I didn't write the code I'll have to follow-up with the engineer who did. -Eric _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
