That leads to a few follow-up questions: a) What *do* we mean by FG? Perhaps we should ask: What do the folks in the user community think FG is? What fraction of the users are using the file [1] mentioned above, as opposed to the version that sits in the fgdata tree? b) Is that version strictly more up-to-date than the fgdata version? If so, wouldn't it be a good idea to upgrade the fgdata version? c) Doesn't 213 seem like a small number compared to the thousands of updates that have been applied to Robin's apt.dat since FG forked it in 2008? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
