Re: Disappearing arps...

2003-04-03 by mikexl7

I took a very quick look at this after reading rEalms reply to you.  
And it seemed that when i was using one of the ARP: presets there 
was no disappearing arp problem!  I guess that this is due to the 
arp being saved with the preset but I am not totaly sure about 
that.  I don't know if there is any other difference between the 
patches.

I bet we will get you sorted out pretty soon :)
