I don't quite see how you could use RCS to set the version. The information will only update if something is checked in, what will be changed in the file to check it in? Do you really want the versions to count up 1.[0..n], how do you specify bug, minor and major releases, what about stages ie. dev, alpha, beta, final. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
