Yes, 2.16 is the most current version. And no, it hasn't gone "backwards." You are misunderstanding how version numbers work. A version number is NOT A DECIMAL NUMBER. That dot is not a decimal separator, it's a group separator. 2.7 does not mean "70% of the way towards 3," nor 2.16 mean2 "16% of the way towards 3." 2.7 means "Version 2, revision 7," and 2.16 means "Version 2, revision 16". You can add more groups (which you couldn't do if it were a decimal number, by the way). So the previous version number, 2.15.1, meant "Version 2, revision 15, update 1" > Second question - if 2.16 is the current one when I download it will I > still keep my mail-bookmarks-address books, etc.? If you have already migrated from Netscape 7.1 to Seamonkey 2.7, then the hard part is behind you. The most complicated migration was from Mozilla 1.x/Netscape 7.x/Seamonkey 1.x to Seamonkey 2.0, and a slightly less troublesome one from 2.0.x to 2.1. Upgrading from 2.7 to 2.16 should be as easy as just installing the new version over the old one. There were no significant changes to user profiles (where your data is stored) in that timeframe. But note I wrote "SHOULD." In theory, all should go well. Nevertheless, it's a good precaution to make a backup of your user profile before starting. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
