Wolfgang,

supporting a "--version" is AFAIK only to be interpreted by humans and not
mandatory. If you have any pointers to any standards requiring it, please
provide these. Obviously these standards would also need to define the
formatting, to enable applications to provide a "stable" and common interface.

As OOo is a bundle of packages, of which many are optional and depending on the
brand and distribution, just taking the bundles version number for updating to
the latest version is IMO wrong. The right way is, to ensure all latest packages
to be installed. This works via the version recorded in the packages (names). 

OOos development is continuing and it will eventually become a bundle of UNO
components, not necessarily delivering an "soffice.bin" executable anymore, but
relying on the "uno" executeable instead. This means, that there will not even
be a place anymore, where we could place the bundles version number.

My Linux box just says:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> uname -a
Linux localhost 2.6.11-1-686 #1 Mon Jun 20 22:00:38 MDT 2005 i686 GNU/Linux

Trying another box gives:
localhost /home/kr> uname -a
Linux localhost 2.4.27 #16 SMP Tue Oct 19 14:04:28 CEST 2004 i686 unknown

so, what versions of Linux do I have here ? And what do I have to upgrade to? 
:-)
