IMHO, this change is long overdue. The new_math parser is far superior and really is perfectly stable. As I mentioned in my last post to the list, this is EPIC5 and we really should be making an effort to move forward. I see no reason to continue using the old math parser considering that people who don't want to rewrite their old scripts can simply toggle an /xdebug option to get the old behavior. It really seems silly to hold back the client any longer over something like this. What's the point of even calling it EPIC5 if we're not going to be making big changes like this? -- Brian Weiss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> fudd @ EFNet P.S. If anyone would like help rewriting their old scripts to take advantage of the new math parser please feel free to email me or drop by #epic on EFnet. _______________________________________________ List mailing list List@epicsol.org http://epicsol.org/mailman/listinfo/list
