1.3.0 was the best version at the time of the httpd-2.2.9 release, so httpd folks correctly shipped that with it, after testing on various platforms. Your platform may have not been included in the testing though - we are all volunteers and access to all hardware is not always possible. We fixed some (non-critical) bugs since and released 1.3.2. More will be fixed in 1.3.3 and so on. Future releases of httpd will include those higher versions, of course. > but wait: I do the gzip to unzip, but do I need to > use pax, in order to convert to EBCDIC, or can I > just use tar? I am really not sure on this one - never used an EBCDIC system. -- Bojan
