As AlanC pointed out, you can't reliably get the version that way, and even on a system I have build 22 running on, it still says 3.0 when the real version is 3.00.16(1) on the system. -- Alan DuBoff - Sun Microsystems Solaris x86 Engineering _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
