RE: An emerging problem with NMAP2: Unable to access *certain*radar stations that are otherwise viewable in GARP.

Bill,

How many files do you have in the directory?
The nominal limit is 1000, but I will increase this to 5000 for
the next release.

Also, can you tell me how you launch your kiosk nmap? Presumably you are
using the spf file, with looping etc.

I have written a standalone program to send the f-key events to a window
of your choosing....still adding a few features. What I need to figure
out is, do you launch things interactively, or is that started at boot
time, login etc...
