Since, noone supplied a patch that will help users to find the information when the tag changes from -STABLE/-CURRENT to -BETA or -RC. I created a patch to newvers.sh that will display an informitive message. This patch changes the version string to include a message that can be used to inform the admin on where to get more information on the meaning of RC, BETA, & CURRENT. Scot W.
