<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=619574116-24092004>Recently, I had a
problem with variable connections in IISibat. Here is the

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=619574116-24092004>I was trying to
connect the outputs of A with the inputs of B. I clicked on the name of an
output of A to start the connection. But when I tried to click on an input of B
to finish the connection, the output wouldn't take it. Normally, if I do this,
the input and the output are supposed to change the color from blue to black and
then they are linked to each other. But in this case, they refused to do that?
Did anyone have this problem before? </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=619574116-24092004>I am pretty sure
that all the inputs of B are available (not linked with others). I don't
know if it is because I am using 28 inputs in A (too many for a components to
hold? any number limitation for input/output?). Thank you!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
