Well I am not sure if that helps thing too much - a few years ago I used to look at Microsoft APIs that provided hundreds of ways (ok may be I am exaggerating) with minute differences to do very similar things and my feeling was that the Microsoft APIs were so bloated because they had to support the old way of doing things and the new way of doing things and everything in between! I mean if I look at the APIs defined in Java - I see hundreds of APIs with huge number of methods on each interface. Having defined this huge API dinosaur - then we go in and say can't change interfaces/APIs - at best you can keeping adding and bloating if up futher!! Good Lord are we setting ourselves up!! prakash --- Michael Kay <mike@s...> wrote: > > But I always end up with a feeling that there must > be > > better way for things to evolve.
