[Nel] problems compiling nel/net/new_message.h

Mon, 5 Mar 2001 10:41:24 +0100

Hello,
+
+In fact, new_message.cpp shouldn't be on the nel directory. so you could
+delete new_message.* and remove the file from the makefile or from the .dsp.
+I commit the modification but you must wait the night to get the fix.
