Best practice I've seen for this is to have a library advertise 2 version numbers: "Compatible" version, and "current" version. When searching for a library to link with, the compatible version must match, and of those the latest "current" version wins. These versions are usually integers unrelated to the version number of any particular product. -- But maintaining these puts a lot of faith in the library's author. -- Gordon Henriksen IT Manager ICLUBcentral Inc.
