12 years ago So, what is the fix for an existing windows v299 installation? What is the source of error? Why is error generated from this help-desk link and not others?
Does the current full-CVS windows distribution include the fix?
e.g. 299.22 is what I have installed and a the current version for download (2004 11 24) is unchanged at 299.22.
Is this a matter of replacing a collection(s) or rebuilding? Where can I access fix?
Thanks

Rebuild it, or wait a day and re-download it (depending on how you installed it to begin with).
What is the source of error?
A bug in the code that generated the html for that page of the documentation.
Why is error generated from this help-desk link and not others?
That's where the bug was....

It will tomorrow, after it is rebuilt (presumably -- assuming nothing else goes wrong with the build).
Of course, you can use CVS directly instead of waiting for the nightly build. It is probably easier to wait, however.
e.g. 299.22 is what I have installed and a the current version for download (2004 11 24) is unchanged at 299.22.
The version number is independent of this fix. We don't make new version numbers for minor bug fixes.
