There are likely individuals with stronger opinions them mine that we should probably not. In the worst case, the doscmd team has produced a version that runs under 2.2.X, and you might want to apply the patches yourself. I believe that 2.2.X is pretty much feature-frozen. In reality, it is really the release engineer's decision... I don't have the time to do it for quite a while though. John
