They define the 'interface' to the implementation. It is most important that these interfaces do change as little as possible especially in a STABLE version. They can change when you update to 10 and they can change all the while on CURRENT but not on RELEASE versions like 8 and 9. > What's the best way to get them updated? You should have the current version if nothing is mentioned in UPDATING. Erich
