 ml> wait.. what?? that's today's date but that version is ""old""... oh,
 ml> uhh... is that radius?? can't be "final-release" either, can it ;)

   Yes indeed, it's Radius. But you don't think they were smart enough to have
a single #define somewhere with the version type, number and date, do you? They
didn't even keep all that info in the About dialogue (that is empty).

   Bugger me if I want to waste time trying to track down all occurrences of
VersionNumber for the time being. But it's high on the todo list.

   Now I'm on the C spree. Jeezz, how complicated they do things. I had Radius
up and compiled in no time, but even when I install MinGW fresh and use the
mingw Makefile the damn binkd doesn't compile.

   I even had to manually create a number of sub-folders for gcc to even start
trying to compile, and then it pukes on the very first compiler directive in
the makefile, '-mno-cygwin' that obviously doesn't exist.

   Sigh! No wonder people suspect that C originally was a student prank from
the Berkeley University. After all, they also gave us unix and LSD... 8-)
