Which a vast heaping many of them probably do. Woody is 40,000 years old, and developers don't like to be constrained to features that were only available when mankind was first taming fire. Not when there's some new API call that combines a kitchen sink with a microwave oven and a motorcycle, and all it takes to get it is to force everyone to upgrade libflummy to the latest CVS version. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
