You're so right... I've been thinging I'm doing something wrong, so I
tried your patch, and experienced an odd behaviour: when using msql to
connect to a host, everything works fine, but if I try to connect to an
mSQL database using MsqlPerl and CGI I get this error:

Msql's message: Hostname / IP address mismatch at
/export/home/pop/Projekt/ta2/dist/cgi-bin/pnr_in.cgi

This error occurs no matter what settings msql.acl contains... My C is
not very good, so any hints or ideas about what happens are welcome

Subject: W3mSQL under NT !!!!!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Yesterday I wrote the following:
'When I try to start a select-query in a html-file the following
errormessage appears:
W3-mSQL Error ! - mSQL Database Error
Error at line 18

Couldn't create temporary table'

But I have forgotten something very important. I'm working under Windows
NT and there I can't create a directory called '.tmp'. And now ?
Does somebody know, how to tell mSQL to use another temporary directory
?
