That's why usually we make a compromise. If possible the libraries are dynamically loaded. Sometimes the cost of keeping support for older versions becomes too high and moving up is inevitable. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
