Well, I'd like, on general principle, to not place incompatible methods in the platform neutral classes. Under the covers, the *implementation* can be different of course. But, for incompatible operating system functions, like reading and writing to the registry on Windows, they should be in a Windows only class, or library. -- Mark Miesfeld ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Oorexx-devel mailing list Oorexx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-devel
