this may be true, but it's too confusing to have more than one release of a software with the same version number. so you can name Win95 = 98 = 98SE = ME, because they just re-bundled it, fixed some bugs and plugges some progs into it.... please do me, anyone else, and especially you and freenet the favour to have *ONE* release number, which will ++ every time you change something. even when you change a dot to a comma! the program has changed, so it has to get a new identification (CHK are content hash keys, too, like version numbers, so a red picture does not have the same CHK as a blue picture!) btw.. it helps debugging by making clear which version of fred the user runs... ____________________________________________________________ The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
