I've been thinking about words to get the version number, and basically there are only two approaches that I actually like. Either a string or separate numbers on the stack: : version# s" 7.5.0" ; : version# 7 5 0 ; (or maybe 0 5 7 ?) Either of these would allow fairly easy checking of the version number. I'm leaning towards the second approach, but what do you think? -- Charles
