The current version (the one you're using) is reasonably smart about libraries that are the target of symbolic links. Ultimately, use your judgement - if there's a library marked as 'stale' and there are newer versions of the same library, then go ahead and nuke the old one. If you're not sure, put the library somewhere else and see if things still work OK after a reboot - if they do, nuke it. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
