... or, it's in the cumulus.exe file properties, or in the About box.

Thanks, got it (439) from .exe file. I think <about> only has version, not build, because that's where I looked first. Not sure how to expand the one line in realtime.text.

You need to be using the newer versions.

1.8.2 Beta was Build 459
1.8.2 (no Beta) was Build 460

RE: Build number... Is there a tag for that yet? I looked in the help file but didn't see one.

No. It didn't occur to me that anyone would want to display it anywhere, and then it was suggested it could be in realtime.txt... I suppose I could add a tag.

It's not important. I just thought if there already was one, I'd use it. I can use php and the realtime.txt to do the same... no problem. :)

It's no bother to add the tag, I may as well do it :)
