Moving all this software over to 2.6 was not considered worth the effort. Another reason which I read here and there and don't know how real the issue is: 2.6's minimum possible footprint is said to be unable to compete with 2.4 for really resource restricted applications. Could it actually be that 2.4 outnumbers 2.6 in embedded installations? (I don't work with 2.4 myself and I don't know the domain of embedded systems.) -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--- -=-- ===-= http://arcgraph.de/sr/ --
