Hum. This is for an application (a game), not a module, and I want it to be clearly labelled as a beta release. So fine with "There are no standard conventions for alphanumerics, and you just make life hard for the machines, which means no help for the humans." but I don't see the big problem for machines and I don't know how to say "hey this is beta" only with numbers; especially if "5.005_03 is equivalent to 5.5.30", I don't see how this could be considered to mark it beta/dev :/ Thanks for your help.. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://zarb.org/~gc/
