Sure. The GCS now advocates that we support it, (although it is not mandatory). If we are to support it, we certainly should do so fully. > So there's no harm, which relieves me. :-) No harm, provided the limitations are understood. Nonetheless, IMHO it is poor software engineering, (which, as a professional engineer, I find quite abhorrent); I'm disappointed that the guardians of the GCS allowed themselves to be persuaded to adopt DESTDIR. -- Regards, Keith.
