point in versions is not decimal separator, but major or minor version separator. So 0.00001 == 0.01 == 0.1 all means major version=0 first minor version=1 but not equal to 1.0, which would mean major version=1 first minor version=0 and also different to 10 or 100000, which would just mean major versions 10 or 100000 Cheers, -- ===================================================================== Agustin Martin Domingo, Dpto. de Fisica, ETS Arquitectura Madrid, (U.
