I worded that badly, but meant to say, that moving from M36 to S36EE
"should"
be fairly easy, with the recompile being the biggest problem.... There
are
some very minor changes, but for the most part, 98% goes across with
little
or no problems... The things that you mentioned are valid points but
could be
worked around with out too much hand wringing..... Lack of source is
another
whole problem.....
