Thanks for the pointer - I wouldn't have picked up on this.

I think it would be a good idea to write this into the FAQ - cutting and
pasting the above text into the FAQ would be useful, I think.

This is for IMP. I meant that it would be useful to be able to see what
version of *horde* I have installed, so I can see if it is necessary to
upgrade horde as well as IMP.

In my installation, there is a page at

https://www.teltec.dcu.ie:8443/horde/

which lists the installed horde modules (only IMP at the moment) and links
to the horde FAQ. I think it would be useful to put the *horde* version
number on this page as is done with the IMP version.

Sean.
