I agree with you, removing deprecated features is the norm... but I read their description as... "we prefer you not to use macro() anymore, but because of all the grief we have been getting from removing long-standard features, we have decided to not remove macro() anytime soon" - my quote I predict 1.8 and 2.0 will include macro()... but, I may be wrong. :-) Lonnie ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
