All,

I'm wondering if we still need and/or want to have "Forms compatibility" 
in FLTK 1.3 ff. Is it still compatible at all? There are lots of code 
and comments about backward compatibility and such...

The problem I'm having: I don't know anything about this predecessor 
Forms, and maybe other developers (and users) don't know it as well. 
Keeping something compatible to something you don't know is difficult...

My question: Is it worth thinking about further compatibility, or should 
we...

(1) remove the references to "Forms compatibility" from the docs, but 
maybe keep a note in a chapter that it has been (or tried to be) compatible

(2) don't think about compatibility anymore

(3) maybe also remove old compatibility functions and methods from the 
sources (but who would know, which we can remove?). Call them 
"deprecated" in a first step (1.3), and remove them later (1.4/1.5/1.6)?

As I wrote above, I'm just thinking about it. Any comments?

Albrecht
