Actually my "sorting algorithm" is much easier: I'm sorting the downloaded updates by date ;-) . I break the version of by splitting the file name on the third dash from the end. It's just that when picking the latest version of a package I check for a digit after the package name as to avoid confusion between fe cup and cup-devel. Versions starting with a letter break with this check. Leonard. -- mount -t life -o ro /dev/dna /genetic/research
