That has always been a goal of the LSB, that's not new with 3.0. I think previous versions of the LSB have met that goal too, unless I'm mistaken (Mats can you confirm?).
Oh yeah, I forgot that HP reverses backward and forward compatibility from what I'm used to.. Note that Wikipedia agrees with my definition, so it must be true! -ian -- Ian Murdock 317-863-2590 http://ianmurdock.com/ "Don't look back--something might be gaining on you." --Satchel Paige -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
