For this we'd need either CVS keywords or bump it > manually from time to time. In the MH-E project, just adding +cvs seems to work fine since we bump the version number relatively frequently. However, it would be easy enough to implement a before-save-hook which adds the date instead of cvs if any of the project's files are saved that the developers could all add to their .emacs. I've cc'd the MH-E users and invite them to comment whether they would find this feature useful. -- Bill Wohler http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ and MH-E.
