As I said, I have no interest in discussing revision numbers. If you feel like naming them 2.1, then 876.23.56.88, and the next one Toby, that's perfectly fine with me. Others here will probably disagree, but in any case I think most such discussions are wastes of time, because it's really not nearly as important as it's made out to be. Stefan
