Certainly it would be better to use a variable than straight text where possible. But, please, no !@#$ cvs keywords (which have bugger-all connection to anything real anyway). Where do all these instances of release numbers occur anyway? (Kim?) Cases in lisp code obviously should refer to a lisp variable instead (emacs-version, emacs-next-major-release :-). Cases in help text or texinfo could possibly be addressed with some analogous mechanism. -Miles -- "1971 pickup truck; will trade for guns"
