I'm probably in the 'nay' camp, but purely because I can't see any reason to take several years of existing code base and changing it. So as long as no one is suggesting DROPPING the existing perfectly adequate syntax but rather just adding something else to slow down processing then I can put up with that. The accelerator will probably take care of any extra delays caused by all the additional features that are being added but as soon as something comes up that is detrimental to existing functional code? I keep being told - "You don't have to use it" - so as long as that is the case then I just have to live with the problems of trying to ready updates to libraries that are not in formats that I am used to :( PHP6 is going to break a lot of things but I hope THIS is not one of them? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
