Long term todo's for 2.4.0 release
Remove legacy interfaces and compatibility
- disable oldlinux building (done)
- move 1.0.x style routines (with old errorhandling) in sockets to a separate unit (<os>sock was proposed for the OS interface, "sockets" for a generic wrapper over the OS-interface common for all platforms, and "passock" for the Pascal-style boolean-wrappers and the sock2text) -- since nobody did anything about this at all since 2.2.0 was released, is it really a good idea to start completely throwing that stuff around now right before the next release? -- Jonas
