The nightly builds leading up to an alpha or beta cycle can have a variety of suffixes, not always starting with one of those ([UFWT...]) letters. The actual alpha versions are .UC1A1 etc; the beta versions are .UC1B1 etc; the gamma versions (release candidates) are .UC1G1 etc; and the release builds drop that suffix. No-one has ever explained to me why the alpha builds are not UA1 etc, but they are not. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.60 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
