Thanks for the link. If legacy is as lightweight as with formlib then no  
problem at all.

I must say how impressed I was at how easy it was to migrate my various  
small projects to 2.12. TTW is still required for legacy but I wonder how  
much of it is still out there? Any chance of splitting it out?
