Robert:
I tried some chicanery to see if I could change the way gcl-2.6.8pre
reports its version number, but I was unsuccessful. If you are aware of
a method to accomplish that, I'll see if I can make it happen. It's a
small thing to me that it reports itself the way it does.
I'm more interested in having Maxima corrected so the bug related to 00
and sum() no longer show up, but I have no idea how involved that task
might be, so I am at the mercy of the Maxima developers. I imagine
there are many more important tasks facing the developers, so I'll just
try to be patient.
