Most of the projects I created with Turbine 3-4+ years ago are still in production (as far as I know) and fortunately "just work" cheers, Jeff > I have used turbine on a number of commercial projects, including some > very large ones, for many years. > > I'm just writing a revision for a project and am using turbine 2.4M1.
