In 2.10, DJGPP_MINOR will be set to 10. DJGPP uses two-digit numbers, so 2.1 is an invalid version because of the ambiguity. The current rev is 2.01; nine revs from now would be 2.10. For those who are interested, we have been working on 2.02 (no release date predictions yet). One of the qualifications for getting a test version of 2.02 is that you have to be able to find it yourself :-) > Oh, and disguising your email address when asking for information is > very impolite. While I understand your opinion on this, I DO NOT approve of people picking on other people in this forum because of their choices in anti-spam measures. This forum is distributed via newsgroup and email; people posting here are expected to be able to read responses via news or subscribe a valid email address to the mailing list. Providing a proper email address in posts IS NOT REQUIRED. If you are replying via the mailing list, and anti-spam addresses bother you, DON'T REPLY, or let the reply bounce (as long as you send to the mailing list too). Just do what you normally do, and if the reply bounces because of an invalid address, ignore it. It's the originator's decision, let them worry about finding your reply. This forum is for talking about DJGPP. Posts and replies about djgpp are welcome and encouraged. Posts about spam and anti-spam belong in news.admin.net-abuse.misc. I respect people's rights to hide their email address on this forum. I respect people's rights to be annoyed by it. I do not respect (nor recognize) any right to harass people about it. DJ
