Well, no. In no case will you 'blow up your system', you'll just have some annoyance with certain things not compiling until you do it all in the right sequence. You should be able to use Nate's script, then try my sequence if anything goes wrong. His script is pretty conservative about recompiling the world in careful sequence anyway, though, so you should be fine. Jordan -- (Jordan K.
