 This is not just a case of recompiling... The idea of having function
 deseapear is the problem.
 Because it doesn't involve recompiling but reprograming.
 An example would be with openwindow for example.
 In my libraries All my defined structed have (Like nodes)  Type/ID, 
 including structure version... That allow my friend to NEVER recompile
 his programes when ever I give him a new library version.
 Of course this is a very diferent environment, but those are the rules
 I beleive in.

 Just imagine (For the openwindow) that CBM removed it and put
 OpenWindowTagList instead! That's what I'm talking about...
 If This is a improvment and you say it should evolve, removing
 Openwindow is somthing logical?
 I cant really speak about that subject since I dont know mutch about
 those 2.0 function.(I know that taglist are an option, like library
 version...)

 I would prefere that CBM create a NEW OS based on the curent 2.0.

 Shouldn'y hurt more than removing all those function that CBM recomand
 bot to use anymore, like you say.
