- Well, I think'll shoot myself now...
-
- After posing the original question (my ParM wont find WB), I went home and
- tried all these wonderful suggestions...
-
- After the nth unsuccessful try, I glanced at the command line output and
- noticed the little 'V3.0' that floated about in there ....
-
- *bonk*
-
- After getting the CURRENT version (3.6) and throwing that in WBstartup, I
- have NO problem....
-
- Gosh, I must be getting slow in my old age....
