If 5.8.9-to-be has the bit field changes merged, then this should be added (but I doubt they have been merged as I think that would break binary compatibility between 5.8.8 and 5.8.9). If the bit field changes have not been merged, then this is not necessary (but it won't harm either) Rob.Thread Previous | Thread Next
