Re: Engine 2

By the way, one of the things that interests me is exactly how much this change breaks people's code. My guess is that it won't break most people's apps. In any case, there will probably be a compat mode where the old copying is forced. Andi At 05:31 PM 8/10/2001 +0300, Heikki Korpela wrote:
