That's not too bad, although I prefer the "has been" variant. Here is yet another using a fairly simple past tense with a word that might not be known to non-programmers: FOO was deprecated in 21.4 If anyone in this list does not know what deprecated means, please raise your hand. If the word deprecated is not known to all, then: FOO was made obsolete in 21.4 On a different topic, it would be useful if the message indicated a replacement. -- Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ and MH-E.
