According to my understanding, the apps compiled before the updates are using the old libraries, and the apps compiled after the update should utilize the new libraries. As long as I don't remove the old libraries, all apps should work fine. I was just curious to know whether I should recompile all apps so that they may work better by using the new libraries. Or will they? :) --- Choy Kho Yee url: http://dotkoyi.infoseek.ne.jp/ blog: http://dotkoyi.blogspot.com/ "There are only 10 types of people in the world, i.e. those who understand binary numbers and those who do not."
