It keeps the original formatting.
interpreted = N
texte = Chris I built that system as an "Enterprise" system so that anyone that had a = forum would be using the same include files and some data from shared = dbs all served from the globals directory. With the new v7 it would not be possible to have a system like this or = some of the others that I have built as there is no globals directory. It is a great idea to go with the single install/single licence model, I = think that it is a great way forward for WebDNA. There must be a way of = keeping the globals directory as I am sure that there are others out = there that use the globals for shared data and include files, it is one = of the things that makes WebDNA so quick and easy.
