Re: [FW1] FW: Merge Object.C

["Aylton Souza, CISSP" <ayltonsz@FW1-NOSPAMwebsecret.com.br>]

Hello,

Hm.. Probably something is messing up your files.

I would suggest that you copy only the *.W files as well objects.C.

Then follow that fwm -g thing described in phoneboy's 'where did my
rulebases go' to make rulebases.fws from scratch.

This is the simplest thing to do...

Please let me know if it did not work,

best wishes

Aylton
