Maybe....but then so are bug-fixes if we want to be picky....if you look
at the release notes of each revision that we get from Rockwell, you would
see that there are as many enhancements as bug-fixes in many of them. We
*could* just keep these releases in the "incrementals" only - but then
5.0Ap36 would still have Rockwell version 1.00 code ;(

You can be the judge - what we are doing is dumping the output from the
AT&v2 command into the debug output. BUT, THIS IS DEBUG.....i.e. that area
of black-magic that is never fully supported/documented due to it's very
developer-oriented nature. Heck, it may even disappear with the next release
if the developers decided it was no longer useful.

With a disclaimer(?):
ALL DEBUG OUTPUT, BOTH SOLICITED AND UNSOLICITED IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY
TIME.
