I ask this question because as I look around Berkeley's campus, I can't find any labs which are using it. They are still using the HC 1.x stuff for the most part. Is this because of all the stacks from 'before'? System problems or what? This isn't addressed to developers. --Thom Gillespie

I don't know about the rest of you, but there are a couple of reasons I'm not (really) using 2.0 yet. 1) It's so damn SLOW! 2) I'd rather not convert all the stackware I've created for our labs until we have a good next version of 2.0. I have enough other things to do than trying to sift my way through a bug in the program - it's tough enough to get the actual stacks running. 3) time to learn it. I've now got a crate of books on pre-2.0 HC that I haven't gotten all the way through yet, and now I have another crate of books JUST on 2.0. 4) not all the XCMD's/XFCN's have been converted yet.

I have made the completely made the switch from HC 1.2.x to HC 2.0v2. I'm not concerned about being compatible with HC 1.2.x and earlier because I control which version of HC people use here at work. Most of the XCMDs still work... and those that don't have either been upgraded or are on their way to being upgraded. HC 2.0 is a really good environment to work in. -- +-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ | Real Life: Mark F.
