I expect that what you downloaded was a pre-release candidate for version 2.0, which does indeed "eschew" older versions (for some good reasons - you can't support *all* versions of *everything*, *forever*). With version 1.2.14, the latest *official* release, versions of PostgreSQL as far back as 7.4 are certainly supported. -- output = reverse("moc.enworbbc" "@" "enworbbc") http://cbbrowne.com/info/lsf.html Dickson's Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.
