Uhhm... when you think about it, now *is* the best time for doing it... because of the very reasons you state for *not* doing it. Every app that changes adapts to 1.3 (from 1.2, I presume) has to do quite a bit of work (right?) anyway... >> Does anyone have a better suggestion than `core'?

As others already have said, core is a very bad name for any module/file/directory. I had a core dir in one of my projects... which an automake-generated Makefile nuked (pretty much... I don't remember the details, and I don't want to). Bye, J - -- Jürgen A.
