As concerned TL7, it is still: This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.7x) I think it is intentionally, so we have the same binaries for all (GUST, TUG, DANTE, TUG2002, CSTUG CD TeX Live 7 releases). -- Staszek Wawrykiewicz email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think that teTeX-beta never had this bug. It was introduced by a "last
minute" web2c-fix, shortly before TeX Live 7 was released. I was unsure
about that fix and had not aapplied it to teTeX-beta.

I think that only the first versions of TeX Live 7 are affected. The
programs identify themself with a web2c-version that ends up with "x",
7.3.7x I think.
