Default Fedora Core 3 version: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ /usr/bin/wget -V GNU Wget 1.10.2 (Red Hat modified) SVN version: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ /usr/local/bin/wget -V GNU Wget 1.10+devel > > If one program works and one doesn't, why use the one which > doesn't? Well, that's simple: I am not a programmer, I am just a user. But, if I use the development versions of programs that I like/use a lot, then I can make what little contribution that I can back to the community by reporting any issues that I have with said programs. If I would just stop using stuff that does not work, then I would not be doing my part. But for real, your question is a good one :) Steven P. Ulrick P.S.: Again I do apologize for not putting the version numbers in my original email. I had intended on doing that, but I forgot :(
