If you're talking about Peter Farrell's questions about cfthread (I can't read the thread - New Atlanta's site is down right now!), it was to do with trying to provide a version of Mach-II that ran on both BD 7 and CF 8 that could use threading. Some of the differences in implementation meant that - for Mach-II's intended use - BD's cfthread was not suitable. In my Edmund framework (which is still in its R&D infancy) I have full support for both BD 7's cfthread and CF 8's cfthread - because the common subset of functionality is sufficient for my needs (in fact BD's cfthread is more permissive than CF 8's which suits me better). I would hardly describe Peter Farrell as an "Adobe fanboy" especially since he was running his site for a long time on BlueDragon! > only to have it come to light that NA implemented cfthread before Adobe, and > that it was up to Adobe to maintain compatibility. Since Adobe (Macromedia / Allaire) created ColdFusion, I don't think they have any responsibility to "maintain compatibility" since they created the de facto standard. The burden is on other companies to build compatible CFML engines, IMO. Nor do Adobe have any incentive to create a common standard definition of CFML - as you said, that would simply make it easier for other companies to build compatible CFML engines. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:301046 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
