But: lessen learned ;) I fully understand your frustration. However, some things have been wrong from the beginning and people are used to use them wrong. So deliberately (desperately) fixing them will break them for all others. I've seen this happening too often in the open source scene: "This API implementation is to be considered wrong because of this or that reason. So we 'fix' it in the next release and everyone who used the old wrong API only has to patch his source code and recompile" And those software depending on the API will temporarily fail until a new release is done, or permanently, if not maintained anymore. This attitude has wiped many good tools from the planet. JMGross P.s.: I also wish all this TIMER1_VECTOR/TIMER0_A1_VECTOR confusion would vanish from the header files. But then, many code examples wouldn't compile anymore. And those who require them are definitely not in the position to patch them properly. So I guess, we'll have to live with this until end of time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
