This is really bad because not only are you staking a claim to those module names, but also it will prevent anyone using those module names in their own programs (and surely that's quite common - I've got both used in my own programs). It's much better to call them Calendar_utils and Calendar_version (note: underscore _not_ period). (BTW, the same applies to 'Printer', but that's not new in this release). (2) Is the library source-compatible with 1.x? Rich. -- Richard Jones Red Hat
