Ok. How do I enable newgroup in the compilation? Didn't notice any flag to set ... does it also disable the current group? > So unless someone else picks it up, waiting for it to be finished would > be a long wait.

Will take a look at newgroup once I can compile and use it, and see if I can get away with enabling only what I need, or else maybe just finish newgroup! ;) > Notice that newgroup.c fixes > another problem with the current group system: It doesn't remove objects > from the diagram.

My dilemma is whether to wait for newgroup to finish, or just take what I need.
