Which implies that a new name requires a new program!? Renaming a program from x to y means renaming all functions and variables. Then what happens to user customizations? One could leave it to the user to translate x-* to y-*, but that of course is not an option. One could define lots of obsolete-(function|variable)-aliases. Or one could provide a "migration tool" that does the translation. Is there a recommended procedure? Ulf -- Klicken Sie HIER und Sie erhalten vier Dosen umsonst
