That's good to hear.  Keeps the Linux crew on their toes. :)

Wish I could say the same for Irix.  Had a good time on that back in the 
day.  Ah, how I used to dream of having my own O2 at home....

Ah, yes.  Good catch.  There are probably a few others that may be 
useful as well.

The more I think about it, the more clearly it occurs to me that most 
software vendors publish a version history somewhere, either in the 
product or on the web site.  This is not only helpful for customers of a 
mature product like Rev who may need to manage multiple versions in 
their work, but also for RunRev's marketing by demonstrating their 
ongoing efforts in enhancing the product.

I just added a request for a version history to be added to the docs 
and/or the web site:

If you don't mind my asking, what sorts of CGIs are you writing for AIX?

I'm putting together some notes on CGI use for a future article at 
revJournal.com, and getting a feel for the breadth of things people do 
with their CGIs will help make for a more useful article.
