That involves fighting with upstream, and really unnecessary iff C++ interface was stabilized. Requiring compiler name and version is not something that is inherent in C++, just signifies that implementation of g++ has been unstable. Not that it shouldn't be done, but pointing out that the idea is rather too optimistic, and possibly restricted to gcc. regards, junichi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer
