Why don't you go ahead and make a list of those exacty issues then? We can then see how to fix those issues. That's much more useful then just posting to the mailinglist when you don't agree with something. From what I've seen with my code base, the changes that I have to do are minimal once some (internal) functions are fixed up. regards, Derick -- Derick Rethans http://derickrethans.nl | http://ezcomponents.org | http://xdebug.org
