Is there any particular reason that db3 and db4 can't coexist? Is db4 not backwards compatible, or buggy, or something? Or for that matter, is there any benefit that db4 provides over db3 that would make it worthwhile, even if porting some software might introduce bugs? I would hope that this can't be a problem, if the interface remains the same -- but does it? I'll admit that I'm [obviously] not aware of the version details or how they might differ, I'm just used to using & working with higher level wrappers like DBM, and not with DB* directly. It just seems annoying that the two versions have difficulty co-existing (or the newer one can't just supercede the older). -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache / mod_perl / http://homepage.mac.com/chdevers/resume/ "More war soon.
