Good points! But we need to address the dependency aging anyways. Because modern system having difficulties with our code.
We must develop a plan how we modernise the code. How about support by version: With 4.x we will support whatever we have today. 5.x will be on newer compiler dependency. Mvcs 2010 and gcc 4.4? 6.x will again support later versions. So we can plan how to start planning what to do. All the best Peter Am 15.
