The thing that you say will be possible "with a little care" got broken by Bruce. Nobody on this project is more careful than Bruce. (And his competence is hardly in doubt, either.) A little care doesn't cut it in software -- you need testing. It's unreasonable to expect all the developers to have what's needed for testing 3.0 release builds on 2.2 machines. It's much more reasonable to ask that the people who build releases -- a dramatically smaller group -- do it on up-to-date systems. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
