Two things: one, like a dolt I missed the 2.4.23 patches. But I've fixed that now. Second problem is more programatic. I apply patches in order based on time stamp. (Not everyone names them with numbers; even IBM's don't always have cleanly sorting names.) But the lot does not come down with precisely retained time stamps. [sigh] I've re-stamped the 2.4.23 patches and they go against 2.4.24 nicely. Looks like I have *less* of this to do for 2.4.21, but some. I'm glad (IBM) that y'all supply us with a patch order (I used that to confirm the order and found my error), but going by time stamp is one way we in the field can automate the order without cut-n-paste off the web page. So ... would you please do both? Thanks. -- R;
