rcm was the tricky one, yes. As best as I could find, nothing consumed the version number, but it's possible that non-ON pieces may (nothing open appeared to, but I think the SSC stuff might use those bits?). It's one of the ones I was tempted to hand-expand the IDs, rather than remove them, but given the Sun China folks were listed to be doing this (though I don't know if that's still the case), the assumption was that they too would check, and they could see possible non-ON consumers and such. > And even if the number is just for human consumption, we may need to > talk to the Sun Service folks some more, to make sure they're not > somehow depending on the version number. > Yes, I'd considered that too. I'm fine with expanding them by hand for that, if they would/could be kept up-to-date. -- Rich
