(Ilia, Derick) Where there is a bug fix, there is at least a bug report to pick up on, but new features with just a single line reference then mean spending time trying to find the details. Most of the 'added' lines mean nothing to me,and I can probably ignore them, but that is then when I get bitten later simply because the implications are not easily located? At the moment I'm not seeing any real reason there that this isn't just a 5.3.4 release? If you take out the controversial stuff. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/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
