Isn't the key that the news item says "future removal". Devs have been criticised in the past by documenting these changes too late, sometimes after they have been implemented. This time they seem to be giving us fair warning and time to get our systems in order. My results are similar to yours so I expect that the deprecated drivers will be depcleaned when the future becomes the present. -- Neil Bothwick "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
