Thanks.
Btw, it's my citation of Wikipedia that's wrong. Wikipedia gave the
release date for 19.28, but i wasn't paying attention and simplified
it to 19.
Here's what Wikipedia says:
19.28 September 15, 1997
Support for multiple frames using the X Windowing System
New interface for version control systems, called VC
New hexl mode, which is a hexadecimal editing mode
-------------
btw, is there a public place to read all the release dates?
