Hi John,

That's cleared it up - thanks!

On a similar note...What is the versioning schema for PGV? I assume the 
last tuple in the PGV version is for bug fixes etc, the second tuple is 
for new releases, is the first tuple for major rewrites of most of PGV?

Also, what's the mechanism for people to upgrade their PGV installation 
to apply bug fixes, update to a new stable release etc?

Cheers
