I see, though frankly I wouldn't consider switching from 2.59 to 2.61 too much of a project. And certainly much less than doing the 2.13 to 2.59 conversion at the top level. Of course in 2.61 there may be different bugs than in 2.59, but I gather the new version is not meant to imply any kind of revolution. Even if there were some subtle problems somewhere, they should get sorted out as things go by stage 3. Or is it because of the new structure of install directories? Maciej
