Not always. Sometimes the author is further upstream yet. That's why we say "upstream maintainer" rather than just "author". Think of the software as a stream originating with the author(s) and flowing from maintainer to maintainer until it reaches the sea of users. Bug reports and fixes are passed upstream against the current (and sometimes it feels that way) until they reach the author. New releases, hopefully incorporating the bug fixes, flow back down. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI
