Morning Gilbert,

Yeah, I saw the notice that these will be going away in NWWS.  

Athough a few things have changed in pqing since 5.0.9, I don't think
anything has changed since then regarding when the PIL is used.   

In looking at the code I see an undocumented option - the -i option to
pqing.  The code sets a variable, 'usePil', and if the -i (for ignore??)
option is invoked 'usePil' is set to false.  Is your upstream site
invoking pqing the same as always? i.e., were they possibly invoking it
with -i before and have forgotten to include it again after the upgrade?

Either way, have them try using the -i option and see if that provides
what you want.  Please let me know what happens.

Thanks!

Anne
