[Handle-info] Re: Permissions Not Implemented?

["Hammond, Tony" <t.hammond@nature.com>]

Hi:

Just to note regarding this observation about HS permissions that I am using
HS 6.2.3. (I tried downloading 6.2.5 but the file permissions are all messed
up, though don't expect there to be any substantial change between the two
minor code versions.)

Also, as noted in my reply to Giridhar [1] there are also discrepancies in
the pre-defined HS_* types between the RFC and the Java distro.

Would be useful to get some comments here from the authors.

Cheers,

Tony
