Hmm. I assumed he meant the former, e.g. 21.4.-2.x would always be a CVS version and 21.4.-1.y would always be a prelease (or something). By the latter, I assume you meant e.g. 21.4.0.-x and having -X count `up towards 0'. The disadvantage of that is you have to pick a very high X to avoid inadvertantly hitting 0 before you're ready... -Miles -- Saa, shall we dance? (from a dance-class advertisement)
