Recent versions of Common C++ use C++ namespaces, so that shouldn't be an issue anymore. I've never used it on non-Linux platforms, so I can't speak to that. I've never been bothered much by dependencies, since I use Debian for all development, but libxml is pretty widely available. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
