But obviously there are people who do have some confusion over it. I guess it boils down to a simple choice: spend a few minutes making the version numbers align with upstream (twiddling a few bits here and there) or writing an article/page on why this is the way it's done that takes more time, requires more work, uses more space, and still has to be referred to every time someone asks this question. It's all a matter of which is more work to the people doing the work. :-) I don't care either way, as it's just XOR'ing the release with 006B00. :-) -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu
