[WriteLog] Mr. Baron, the fix to the bug you are flaming about was posted a month ago

[gbaron]

I dont' have a problem with everyone helping to fix this if the publisher
will not. I still think he ought to do it as soon as possible, that way all
get it automatically. In that process I will include the file inline here
and anyone can look at it. 	 think I fixed it but the help is not entirely
clear so I could have missed some or done it incorrectly. I am including
only the SS portion of the file to make it smaller. I found a lot of errors
in addition to the three named here especially in the VE entries NWT , not
YT etc. Here is one place where having this on yahoo groups would be a big
improvement as you can upload files for anyone to download.

Why not look it over and make any corrections needed if you really want to
help?
