The following change triggered some thoughs:

+2006-11-04  Robert J. Chassell  <bob@rattlesnake.com>
+
+	* emacs-lisp-intro.texi: Replace 22.0.100 with	22.1.100.

Since we use 22.0.50 for the CVS version, 22.0.90,... for pretests,
it seems quite non-intuitive for Emacs Lisp Intro to use 22.1.100
in an introductionary text.  

Since most users will get a version 22.1.1 when then they build Emacs
from the tarball, it would IMO make more sense to use 22.1.1 in the
examples.

We could update the `set-version' command in admin/admin.el, so that
the Lispintro version number is automatically bumped each time a new
pretest is rolled.  (The Emacs and Emacs Lisp manuals are already
being bumped in this way.)

OK.  I am more used to a higher third number, but you are right
regarding the intended audience.  I committed the change plus a few
others.  I think I have found most of the errors in the DVI output.
Please look at the documentation!  It looks fine to me, but I am too
close to it.  Thanks!

IMO the lisp intro should say 22.1 in the examples.  So I don't see a
need to do as you suggest.

The version number in file names used in the intro is of the form MAJOR.MINOR.BUILD

In contrast, the CVS / pretest versions uses MAJOR.MINOR.MICRO.BUILD

So 22.1.100 refers to build number 100 of 22.1

Bob already changes the intro to use a 22.1.1 (ie build number 1)
instead, and that's all that's needed.
