That has always been a goal of the LSB, that's not new with 3.0. I think previous versions of the LSB have met that goal too, unless I'm mistaken (Mats can you confirm?).
Mats can confirm, but it's my understanding that LSB 3.0 is not backward compatible with LSB 2.0, i.e., LSB 2 apps won't necessarily run on LSB 3 runtimes because some symbols were removed between LSB 2 and LSB 3. -ian -- Ian Murdock 317-863-2590 http://ianmurdock.com/ "Don't look back--something might be gaining on you." --Satchel Paige -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
