[AG-TECH] Re: AG 2.2 Alpha - node services do not start when entering a venue

[Andrew Patrick]

Thanks for the reply.  Putting the RAT and VIC executables in the bin

looking for them in the old places.

I did not get much further with 2.2Alpha, having problems connecting to 
most, but not all, venue servers.

Let us know when we should test it again.
