I've not seen this asked since I've been on the list; but was wondering... I'm currently sticking to the 2.2 line and have no plans to move to 2.4 right now. Is there any attempt to back port some of the changes in the newer 2.4 line back into 2.2? ext-0.0.7a.tar.gz has been stable thus far, but it's getting kind of old. NEM

And it works like a charm ...
