This is the best way to handle it. And while you are at it, add a __VERSION__ that PilRC will copy the 'tver' 1/1000 value over. THAT WOULD BE GREAT! Completely automatic; not more manual updates NOR makefile scripts! I'm eagerly awaiting 3.0 beta 5!!! :> -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
