lack of foresight? We are at version 2.98 now, the sources Wolfgang received are already different from 2.98 so they would have to be called 2.99 if they were released as a version. So the next bugfix after that will cause version 3.00 to be released? Many programs expect the version to be a plain long word so you can't easilly call it 2.99a or something like that. Richard
