I suggest this is the wrong view of backward compatibility. If you have a code that is never to change then you should archive the compiler that compiled it along with that code. To demand that D must never fail to compile ancient code is just wrong. If a code is to be left untouched but the compiler not archived then the code must be recompiled and amended as needed with each new compiler that is accepted in the workflow. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
