And Python has the same management. Python 2.6 still runs and compiles everything written for Python 2.0. If there is ever a JDK 2.0, I'll wager it will have the same incompatibility issues as Python 3.0. That "major number" change is telling you something. PHP 5 will not handle a lot of PHP 4 code. >Python 3 is, I'm sorry to say, an example of unfathomably bad management. Are you arguing that language developers do not have the right to make incompatible changes, ever? -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
