- *sigh* Please reread the messages. There is nothing wrong with the Amiga's
- IDCMP ports. The bugs are in reference to GadToolsBox v1.3.

- GadToolsBox v1.3 (v37.111, as it comes off the Fred Fish disk) didn't
- write out the IDCMP flags for gadgets in the generated source, because of a
- typo in the GadToolsBox source. The msgs posted in c.s.a.programmer
- are (1) to fix the source code, (2) to fix the binary/executable of
- GadToolsBox.
-
- The workarounds for this bug (if you don't fix GadToolsBox) are to manually
- correct the generated source, or use ModifyIDCMP() so that the windows
- have the proper IDCMP flags set.
-
- This is not to be confused with the recent post to alt.sources.amiga, which
- is for Aztec C users who use GTB's GetFile gadgets and/or are recompiling GTB
- itself.
