I would suggest to keep it in the system and announce its end when older system like 8.x or 9.x are at the end of their life time. The users of the old system would then still be able to upgrade their system in any case but know then that this is the last time that it works. They have then the time to change their scripts until they will move to the next version which might will lack the support. > The fact that you(pl) do not do is different. >=20 There is also a big difference between the developers and the users out there. This would not be the only point where users are simply ignored. Erich
