As far as I've seen, 1.8b9d14 is the highest numbered version in circulation. It and 1.8b8 are available from the Stalker FTP site. IMHO it's time for Stalker to fix any documented bugs (as opposed to 'missing' features) in 1.8b9d14 and call it 1.8. Clearly they have their hands full with CGP development and are not moving much on SIMS, and a little clarity on where SIMS stands version-wise would reduce confusion. The reality is that 1.8b8 is quite stable and usable, and fixes some issues from 1.7. People have been running 1.8b8 for 30 months without much trouble. Those of us who like life on the edge and/or wanted some additional tweaks have been running 1.8b9d14 (and its predecessors) for 3 months (and longer) and nothing major has been reported publicly. I'd *LOVE* to get the full feature set that Stalker has outlined as coming soon, but soon has been coming for quite a while now and nailing down the current (very respectable) state of SIMS as a real version seems more sensible than having to tell a steady stream of users that they really can upgrade to something with a couple letters in the version without worrying. -- Bill Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
