Perhaps I've seen too much development software ;-) but I always regarded a "snapshot" as the instantaneous "version" of a work still in progress, to be treated with care, not final or "current". However I have observed many other projects release their "snapshots" with a qualifier, eg. 8.7pre1.1 or 8.7a1.1 or somesuch --- Peter Kerr Mail.app 1.3.8 (v618) Snr Technician School of Music, University of Auckland, New Zealand
