Thanks duncan. I fixed it by changing to depends and resubmitting my packages. But I changed from depends to imports for a very specific reason. namespace conflicts. There are work arounds for that so its not terminally broken, but IMPORT had the promise of just the elegance I was looking for.

Yes, inelegant would be a good description. Sadly a fact we have to put up with I guess. FWIW, I too don't like dependencies. mmap has none, and is cross platform, but I get the idea. Good luck, Jeff On Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 11:13 AM, Jon Clayden wrote: > Thanks for the replies. I take the poi
