I can think of one reason - a person might have a delicate development environment set up where installing a new compiler/IDE/scripting language causes the owner of said development environment to take three weeks to repair the damage. <Whistles innocently...> For most people, there is no problem though. They don't have years and years of legacy code and compiler "mods" to deal with. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task.
