RE: (ROSE) Rose Fileformat (revisited...)

[Angay, Huseyin (Huseyin)** CTR **]

I didn't come across the problem that you mention, but maybe it's because I
move packages around in a much more conservative manner.

If I want to move packages that reference each other, I will first bundle
them under one package tree. When I move them like this, there is no
problem.

I found that when you move a single package or package tree, things go quite
smoothly. When you move separate packages that reference each other, it's a
hit-and-miss affair.

I haven't tried this in 2000e, but I suspect it will not be different. (But
this is one of those cases where I'd love to be wrong!)

If Rational guys know a better method, I'm open to enlightenment.
