Every time you compile a new Emacs binary, the minor release version is increased by 1, it is a compilation counter. Existing binaries are not overwritten, you could have emacs-23.2.1, emacs-23.2.2 etc in parallel. During extensive development phases, I have had more than 100 compiled binaries in parallel :-) Once you apply `make bootstrap', all binaries are removed, and counting restarts with 1. > Ken Best regards, Michael. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
