I'll spend some time looking into what it'll take to refactor, although I agree with Andreas that it would be better to focus on getting 0.94 ready and do any necessary 'purging' of fop-0.20.5 after that, if that's what's deemed best. I'm not actually convinced eradicating it from the FOP site is the best route, as there will be some who can't upgrade (namely users of AIX 4.1 and/or others who can't upgrade to a Java Run-time Environment newer than 1.3)... I would think the fop-0.20.5 information should remain accessible somewhere other than on <http://archive.org/>. The good part is, that the content will likely never change and would exist on a separate TAB, out of the way. That's not to say I'm firmly in the trench of keeping the content, but I don't see how it'd hurt to retain it. -- Regards, The Web Maestro -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - <http://homepage.mac.com/webmaestro/> My religion is simple.
