Eric,

Why have the writeRaw and readRaw interfaces been removed? This seems to
break the rule that we should always try and retain backwards compatible
interfaces. I am already getting complaints that asynOctet devices we
support have broken. Doing this without a cast iron justification seems
rather strange to me. I now have to maintain code that will compile
against multiple versions of asyn and so I need a number of horrible
ifdef's.

And even that does not work because asyn does not provide any version macros. :-(
