I think if we are going to do that, some form of compatibility test on startup with a little message box saying (Your GTK version is x.x and the minimum we require is y.y, please upgrade to use this software) is a good idea. Firefox did this at one point and I found it much more informative than it simply refusing to run or bombing out. Even if it were implemented as a unit you inserted in the beginning of your uses clause and therefore optional, I _think_ it'd be a good idea. (I have been wrong before though) Brad -- Dolphins are so intelligent that within a few weeks they can train Americans to stand at the edge of the pool and throw them fish. _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
