Have you tried STLport ( www.stlport.org ) or you are saying STLport is not supported ( and BTW STLport project is free ) ?

Some are not only payed, but also get a lot of fame.

I see. So now there are some brand new holy cows over there, called 'free' software. ( To me - software is either good, or bad. No matter is it 'free' or 'not' ). Somehow you are participating in some marketing-driven attempt to re-animate some heap of code produced by fulltime developers who have left some company long time ago. This is your and only your descision. I don't understand why now nobody can even *touch* that monster. Nobody is critisizing you. The statement was: Heather Lindsay wrote: > The only ones you can blame are microsoft and mazilla for not being able to > keep up with technology that changes every day (are we asking for too much?). Excuse me - what is wrong with this statement? Rgds.Paul. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
