Ooh. That's a good point... I've written a few plugins, and the thought of maintaining two versions of otherwise identical plugins doesn't appeal. It is possible to combine two versions in the source, and determine which version to build at compile time. I don't think it is feasible to have a single plugin provide both v1 and v2 at run time (say, if a 1.x only host and a 2.x only host are wanting the same plugin) - the plugin descriptors won't be binary compatible. - Myk ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
