Kim <ab@astralblue.net> OK, thanks for the info. So then, what is the purpose of the date in the Makefile then if it's just arbitrary? Clearly the CVS version date is interesting, since it has to be in order for ports to work right, but what is the actual purpose of the "Date Created" string in the Makefile? If "Date Created" is just fantasy, why put anything there at all? -- Philip J.
