Thanks. Btw, it's my citation of Wikipedia that's wrong. Wikipedia gave the release date for 19.28, but i wasn't paying attention and simplified it to 19. Here's what Wikipedia says: 19.28 September 15, 1997 Support for multiple frames using the X Windowing System New interface for version control systems, called VC New hexl mode, which is a hexadecimal editing mode ------------- btw, is there a public place to read all the release dates?
