Actually, as stated in README.release we dropped support for 2.1.x in the 5.9.1 release, but I wanted to leave the notice in for this release and subsequent ones up to and including our next stable release for those users who just skip from one stable release to the next or skip some of the development releases. > Are people really happy for me to go and remove the legacy code which is > in place to support this?

Cruft removal is a good thing to do, and besides the octave download page doesn't even give directions for downloading 2.1.x any more. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
