thanks Jari - the svn route sounds less hassle, although I'll have to live with 'base-2.4.1pre' as a version name.
The source built fine from the dodgy tar file. I'm becoming an expert BASE upgrader... (merging in config and migrate patches, keeping plugins working [jars now outside the main base directory]) And it's nice to see a few of my feature requests in there now (switched user can stay on same page, JDK6 now supported). keep up the good work, cheers, Bob.
