Compatability, to me says 'Configuration files' and setup approach. Is Interoperability back with earlier clients also a design goal/feature present? That is, for testing, will I need to set a test bench with two hosts, running the 2.x code, or can I just temporarily repoint a 1.x client at a 2.x host by altering the 'remove (servername)' field at the client? - Russ Herrold
