I think that this compatibilty layer sounds like a real nightmare to test.. I wouldn't want to run a 2.2 app on some sort of funky layer like that when I could just leave them running on the old platform. I think that the effort spent on this would be better spent on docs or coding the actual functionality. Although as an execise, it does sound like fun!

The complayer might be useful for moving to the latest core or learning how to use it though. -- ===================================================================== Jeffrey D.
