Right, but the original point being made was that when commodore says you
shouldn't use a vector anymore, you shouldn't use it.  despite weather you
think commodore will or won't take it away, the point being that once they are
made obsolete commodore can do anything it wants with them, and nobody who
continues to use them has a right to bitch if something DOES happen.  Like i
said someday cbm probably will remove some things, for instance they've
already removed a whole library.  the clist.library from 1.0.  all programs
using that are now broken.  the precedent is there, but people still choose to
ignore it.  "naw, commodore will continue to always support MY code." is the
basic thoughts..
