[Spread-users] Small Help Needed

[Abhishek Sipani]

Thanks for the response ryan. Am using 3.17.3 library and making use of the
sp.h and its associated files. I tried changing the MAX_PRIVATE_NAME column
to 100 and then make the call to sp_connect. Still the message gets
truncated. Am i missing something here?What other changes do i have to force
on the daemon source code.
Thanks and Regards,

I don't know the specific Spread library that your using... is it a
wrapper around the C version, or a port?  Regardless, the maximum
length of the private name associated with a Spread connection/mailbox
is 10, without changing definitions in the daemon source code.

Cheers,
Ryan
