I am presuming that the one originally released is the "unofficial" one... I appreciate your situation, but using the same release number for a new release (even if it is the "official" one) is a really bad release policy. Just for your own sanity I would think that you would want a new release number -- even if you just did a rebuild and changed nothing but that number. John -- John W.
