Richard,

I understand your position, the new version is aged 6 years already,
there is obiously no reason to support the previous one. But everyone
should understand that OOP is not a necessity in IT life. I know *a
lot* of people who hate OOP just because it is not the way a computer
works. A computer is a machine driven by a program. A program is a
list of operations. A program is a procedural way of telling a machine
what it has to do. One day, some Geeks around invented OOP. Why ? We
will probably never know. But to me OOP is abnormal. A file or a drive
does not have "methods" and "instances" and such. A file or a drive is
opened, read from, written to and closed. Period. A lot could be
written on the mind of the Folks who invented OOP. Ada was a REAL
progress because the objective was to produce error free code. OOP is
like .NET. An awful counternature invention for Geeks. This is the
very reason why noone (but Geeks) will ever move from VBScript to
PowerShell. Richard, I will not start learning OOP at 62 to be able to
use SQLite. Sorry for that. I'll stick to MySQL and good old
procedural PHP.
<set flame off>.
