In typical pre-Y2K-style I'd suggest: K4011073106W K --> kernel 40 --> kernel 2040 (to 2099) 11 --> year (to 99 so 2099) 07 --> month (01..12) 31 --> day (01..29/30/31) 0 --> 086+ (valid options [0,3] for 086+/386+) 6 --> FAT12/FAT16 (valid options [6,7] for filesystems that MSDOS 6/7 understand) W --> Watcom Slightly cryptic I guess. Also not listing used UPX options, compiled kernel options etc. Ultimately all this stuff is simply developers' choice/preference ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
