#Lattice vs. Manx
John,
I wasn't suggesting that Manx was 'some hack' (I'll leave that to Ben).
Nor was I decrying the 'difficulty' of maintaining version control on a
product (although my experiences in the past with LARGE projects indicate
that it IS a hassle). I was just attempting to point out that Nature has
already given us a mechanism for 'automatically incrementing' a number to
be used for revisions. We even consider this mechanism SO useful that we
make it virtually automatic on all computers in use today. The mechanism
is 'time' (and of course, the date). I fail to see the significance of a
revision system which uses numbers like 5.04 in preference to numbers like
900510.1909.
