Anything that compiled with 3.x will compile without change with 3.2. As stated, the only changes are to the ABI, what other tools interface with. Thus you would need the same changes to 2.95 code as you would for any of the other 3.x compilers. My experience has been that bringing the code into compliance with the ISO standards will fix any problems. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
