Alfred, I'd rather see you guys release the SDK as soon as possible, even if it only contains MSVC.NET project files. I'd hate to see the SDK delayed in order to support older environments. If there are really that many people that use VC6 or whatever, there will be at least someone who does a conversion in order to make it work with VC6 (as long as there isn't anything else that requires MSVC.NET) and release a download link for it. I wouldn't be surprised if there was even an open-source group formed for this. Seriously though, just release it the most efficient way you can, the older dev community will adapt as it has all along. There are also update releases you can do that can include support for older environments. I'd just like to see the dev community having the ability to start working with the new SDK ASAP. There have been many projects sitting on hold for too many years waiting for the HL2 delivery promise to be fulfilled. With the holiday season approaching, many developers will have some extra holiday time to spend coding. So, let's not waste that. - HoundDawg _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
