I have now compared the skeleton !Boot files going back a couple of years (using utilities by Stefan Bellon and Martin Avison). The only change since Netsurf 2.5 (2010-04-23) is one small file called Aliases -- which is dated 2011-09-21. The skeleton !System contains the five modules Iconv, SharedULib, Tinct and URI. Modules all have internal dates. Four of these are 2006; the only newer one is Iconv -- which is dated 2011-01-04. I emailed Rob and Michael a copy of the skeleton !Boot and !System with meaningful datestamps, plus a little explanatory textfile, all contained in a zip file where datestamps should be safe from the zealous Linux autobuilder, we hope. -- Jim Nagel www.archivemag.co.uk See you at London? www.riscoslondonshow.co.uk October 27
