Re: [lo-4.2] regview fails to show rdb files

Hi Stephan,

that was it. I had modified the loutil.py to add both 4.0 and 4.2 and since
4.0 was before 4.2, it was being picked up.
With 4.2, the python version from 4.0 was messing things up.
After I removed program 4.0 etc, it works for 4.2 as expected.

For some reason it work for me with and without "," .

thanks for the help and time.
Neeraj
