Has FMP 6.0v4 fixed the notorious "whose" bug that's been dogging scripters
on this list for many moons, then? Is there a FMP 6.0v4 Unlimited? I don't
see an upgrade on FMP's web site for it. I see FMP and Developer, but not
Unlimited.
The whole "whose" bug question was hotly disputed last year, with some
scripters claiming they'd never had a problem with this. I was in quiet
agreement with them up till moving to OS 10.2.x. I never had trouble with
"whose" in OS 9.2.2 and any incarnation of FMP from 5.0-6.0v1. Now, with OS
10.2. and FMP 6.0v1, I can't run "whose" commands reliably. They work
sometimes, but blow up FMP too often to risk using in production.
I'm suspicious that this phenomenon might indicate a conflict with some
popular osaxen or some such, since it's not universal.
