Entering the command 'unset SESSION_MANAGER' before running BNS may help as a work-around.398 In Qt-based desktop environments (such as KDE) on Unix/Linux platforms users may experience a crash at startup even when BNS is run in the background using the '-nw' option. This is a known bug most likely resulting from an incompatibility of Qt libraries in the environment and in BNS. Entering the command 'unset SESSION_MANAGER' before running BNS may help as a work-around. 405 399 </li> 406 400 <li> 407 Currently BNS can only generate the tentative RTCM Version 3.x message types4056 and 4057 for combined GPS and GLONASS orbit and clock corrections.401 Currently BNS can only generate the tentative RTCM Version 3.x message Type 4056 and 4057 for combined GPS and GLONASS orbit and clock corrections. 408 402 </li> 409 403 <li> 410 We experienced a limitation of the Standard Version of Microsoft Windows related to socket communication where sockets are not always handled properly.

Special Committees provide a forum in which governmental and non-governmental members work together to develop technical standards and consensus recommendations in regard to issues of particular concern. RTCM is engaged in the development of international standards for maritime radionavigation and radiocommunication systems. The output documents and reports prepared by RTCM Committees are published as RTCM Recommended Standards. Topics concerning Differential Global Navigation Satellite Systems (DGNSS) are handled by the Special Committee SC 104. 444 </p> 450 445 <p> 451 446 Personal copies of RTCM Recommended Standards can be ordered through <u>http://www.rtcm.org/orderinfo.php</u>. … … 479 474 <p><a name="rtcm3"><h4>7.2.2 RTCM Version 3.x</h4></p> 480 475 <p> 481 RTCM Version 3.x has been developed as a stream format alternative to RTCM Version 2.x.
