[ANN] Release 8.1.5 -- tsneterr

[Charles Warwick]

Hi Dan,

The error message "Not initialised" (the spelling is correct depending 
on where you live ;-) ) indicates that the tsNet external isn't running.

If you are using libUrl which I am guessing you are, tsNet is 
initialised on startup, so this would indicate that it has either been 
shut down by calling tsNetClose directly, or by a call to the libUrl 
"resetAll" or "libUrlCancel" commands (which temporarily shut down the 
external and start it back up to clear all connections).

I have seen code posted on the list in the past which invoked "resetAll" 
to deal with issues in older versions of libUrl.  Do you use these 
commands at all in your project?

Regards,

Charles
