afaik problems started with UTF8 content, which Java serializes in a way different from the rest of the world. Then Dave decided to give up on index compatibility since it was useless for everybody not only storing ASCII content anyway and made changes to the index format to enhance performance and ease the implementation of some features, but I'm not sure what or when exactly this was. The ml archive could be of help to find out more. cheers, Jens -- Jens Krämer webit!
