QNET light documentation bug

In the npm-qnet-l4_lite.so helpviewer page, under caveats the following
entry can be found:

"
If you use bind=en, you want to use resolve=dns as well.
Don’t use the options bind=en and resolve=dns together; that combination is
invalid.
"

I’ve contorted my brain as hard as I can, but I always get a little 0=1
meltdown.

It’s been fixed for the next release. Here’s what it says now:

If you use the bind=ip option, you also need to use the resolve=dns or
resolve=file option. The resolver is used to map the nodename to the IP
address; you can’t use the default resolver with the bind=ip option.

and:

The combination of bind=en and resolve=dns is invalid.

Too bad the default in 6.3 is to use qnet-l4_lite which only supports bind=en
and not bind=ip. Come to think of it, I don’t think it supports any of the
other QOS options that are also documented for Qnet, namely the ~ extensions
that are used when opening connections/devices/files over Qnet.
