    Because they do not currently develop the two code bases at the same time.

    Right, the next major version which is going to be a near total rewrite
anyway to incorporate new features easily, sync up the code bases, make the
code base more portable for current and future platforms.  

    In short, they way to get around the compatibility issue is concurrant
releases.  Concurrant releases won't come around until the next major release
(last I heard from Southsoft).  The next major release will require the very
functions that we're debating.  In short, the whole debate is moot because of
it.

    So it all comes down to, do we leave it the way it is, and has been for
years and have Southsoft start on the next major release sooner, or fix it for
a minor few and delay that major release even more?  I opt for the latter.

    I intend to.  Either until something better comes along (doubtful) or it
happens.  Mmmm, or until Bob filters me out of his email.  That could happen,
too, I guess.
