ILE Build Tools for RDi

Widen panel dividers

Maybe I'm getting old ;-) ... but I'm frustrated wasting precious seconds moving my cursor back and forth across the panel dividers in a perspective trying to position the cursor precisely in the 2-pixel (or so it seems) width of the divider, requ...

Option to suppress RNF7031 messages in F-specs

Find/Replace (CTRL-F) regular expressions in RDP (LPEX) should match the help text "regular expression patterns".
