My view of the enable/disable compile options is that hey are most useful for people building minimal footprint binaries. A configuration option to minimize the footprint for SMP would be just as useful. I'd probably opt for wrapping individual parts of SMP such as plug-in IPC components, or anything else like that where things are optional rather than the whole code. Amos
