According to the author there shouldn't be any incompatibilities between 0.88 and 0.88.1 (there are only two or three functions added in 0.88.1 all API stayed the same).

Hmm, this can be done. However xfmail-1.3 will ONLY link with xforms-0.88.1 (configure checks for it). Best regards. -------- Gennady B. Sorokopud - System programmer at NetVision Israel.
