RE: What's the '0' for in the version number?
Why is it GHC 5.02.2, 5.03 etc.? Wouldn't it be easier with 5.2.2, 5.3? I don't know, probably historical reasons: as far as I can remember, GHC's version numbers always had two digits after the decimal point. For historians, here is the announcement of the first release of GHC (0.06) archived thanks to Google: http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=16945.9203281558%40dcs.glasgow.ac.u koutput=gplain Cheers, Simon ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users

At least until you get into two-digit major version numbers, this way of doing things makes the filenames appear in version order when you type 'ls'.
