I don't really feel strongly about this, either way. But since I don't often use the MS tools, the names looked odd to me in that format. However, one "advantage" of changing the names, as you suggest, between 1.1 and 1.3, is that it may save us a world of pain from people who can't figure out why their code crashes in odd ways since they upgraded (I'm thinking here of users getting into difficulties because the libs and DLL's have the same names and similar, but incompatible, API / ABI.) -- Ian SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems Limited Registered Office: Sigma House, Christopher Martin Road, Basildon, Essex SS14 3EL A company registered in England & Wales.
