At which point, you've created a bigger problem that the one you wanted to fix, because instead of a ten-line macro in some compatibility file in the package, you're suddenly dealing with making that macro available to people *outside* the package(s) where it is intended to be used... In other words: we can add that macro, but I bet it won't save a single line of code (nor any trouble) to any externally maintained multi-platform package. =C2=A0 =C2=A0 Juanma
