[WriteLog] Networking incompatibilities

[Clive Whelan]

Hi 

Further to my postings with the title "No NETW field in 
Networking", which is strictly not accurate which is why I've 
stared a new thread........



A *VERY BIG THANK YOU* to Don KF2XF, who gave me the big clue.


The problem was simply that two different releases of WL were in 
use. I wouldn't have testified in court, but I was pretty sure 
that both machines were on 10.29E, but on checking I found that 
I hadn't updated one machine, and it was still on 10.28C ( was 
it C  I have forgotten already!). So the bottom line is that the 
error message of incompatible fields was not strictly correct, 
and this is a function of attempting to network two dissimilar 
versions of WL.

I confess I am surprised that this causes so much trouble, and 
clearly a word in the documentation is required to prevent 
others falling into the trap. This may not happen any time soon, 
but no doubt Scot will pick up on it for his excellent site.
