| | | | | | | | Hi Dave and Ahui, LPub is not supposed to do this. Lars Hassing reported this long ago, and I thought I had fixed it. WHen LPub starts it makes a backup of the current pvengine.ini file. When LPub exits it is supposed to restore this file to its (...) (22 years ago, 4-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)

This bug should not persist when you shut LPub down and bring it back up, unless you saved the configuration. If you saved configuration, you might (...) (22 years ago, 19-Sep-02, to lugnet.inst)
