Re: legacy code

How do we define "legacy code"? It *works*.

Of course, for some, that's reason enough to change it.

And I realize I was unfair to MicroSloth when I said (about how allowing long filenames would break third-party software):
Of course, if it were MicroSloth, that in itself
would be a reason to proceed, particularly if the
third-party software in question competed with one
of their products. <rolleyes>

Of course, that's not a fair characterization at all. If it were Microsloth, they wouldn't *announce* that they were *thinking* about such a change until it was ready to go into beta test.
