Re: [sc-users] Freeing Previously Allocated Busses

[koonce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

s.newAllocators is exactly what I was looking for, i.e. something to
simply clean house before another run.

Thanks to everyone who offered solutions.

P.S. Something about this would be useful in the Bus helpfile, since it is
not directly a "Bus" object method, and is not something I was able to
find easily, at least with my limited patience/knowledge. Something
directly under the free instance method like: (Note: See s.newAllocators
to free all currently allocated (and unknown) server busses.) would do the
trick, I think.
