Because 4.10 comes after 4.9. 4.10 is now in RC3 and will become 
4.10-RELEASE later this week or whenever they decide it to do it.

Kinda like filePro 5.0.10 was newer than 5.0.9

Back to filePro on FreeBSD.

So far, even BrianW's ghostpcl integration with his reptmail shell 
script  seems to be on the right track. FreeBSD doesn't come with korn 
shell as a default. And it took me a second after I installed the korn 
shell port that for some reason it installed it as /usr/local/bin/ksh93. 
Weird, but for testing purposes I just changed the shell script. BillV 
might have an idea as to what I "really should have done" to get a ksh 
without having to make a symbolic link (which I haven't done yet).

Today we tackle faxing and emailing from filePro.

Yesterday I attended a seminar on "storyboard planning" a-la Disney,
GE, Caterpillar, ... et al. Highly interesting.
