this problem keeps coming up. i was thinking it would be handy to have a character that is defined to sort before 0 and before the empty string. tilde seems like the best choice to me, so something like: krb4-0.9.9~980514 fltk-0.9.9~980527 mpsql-2.0~b1 which i think is probably clearer than what i actually did: krb4-0.9.8.980514 fltk-0.9.8.980527 or the other suggestions. just an idea. greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
