These fixes are included in V2.2 Rev E and later. Customers running earlier revisions of V2.2 can FTP the upgrade kit from the ANONYMOUS directory on TGV.COM (ECO-AF022.A). As I had told you earlier, support for the drift file will be included in MultiNet V3.0. Braindamage in the VAX C runtime support broke the UNIX code in a way which didn't seem worth trying to patch.
