Updateing to the latest FADISM is a marketing tactic. I tried to install RH6.2, which was main-stream in the 90s, and would have run poplog of the 90s, but failed to install RH6.2. IMO, trying to patch poplog to run on latest OS/kernel is absurdly simplistic. You don't/can't know WHAT you don't know!! That's why these new <self-checking> languages have evolved, like Haskell.... --- CRG
