[Difx-users] RULE and SETUP section name issue

[Walter Brisken]

Hi Jan,

This is expected behavior: you picked a bad name (in fact, the only 
special name) for the setup!  A setup called "default" is executed if no 
RULE matches.  So if the RULE matches, it makes explicit use of "default". 
Otherwise it defaults to "default".

Hope this helps,

W
