Its a big friggin library with lots of nuances. It would be real nice if a piecemeal integration of v3 components into v2 could be made but I dunno how deep and intrusive the dependencies are - I fear this option is not practical. FWIW - providing a stringstream as a stop gap measure for v2 would probably be a fantastic benefit because use of strstream (and forgetting to unfreeze stuff correctly) is one of the biggest source of memory leaks that I find in people's C++ code and in every case a stringstream would have prevented and was what the original code would have preferred in the first place. thanx & later, Ben Scherrey Joe Buck wrote: > > Martin writes: > > I'd still like a comment on the original submission of that > > header.
