If this is the reason it isn't done, I respectfully suggest that it's a decision that ought to be reversed, thus ensuring a lot more future software compatibility, and much less developing grief. The Sound Manager was added last time (Sys 6.0); surely it takes (w/snd) a similar amount of space. I and others probably like it. The compatibility is probably worth a lot more. Please! In 7.0!
