   The new Radius, RFC

    ml> wait.. what?? that's today's date but that version is ""old""... oh,   
    ml> uhh... is that radius?? can't be "final-release" either, can it ;)   
      
      Yes indeed, it's Radius. But you don't think they were smart enough to have   
   a single #define somewhere with the version type, number and date, do you?   
   They didn't even keep all that info in the About dialogue (that is empty).   
      
      Bugger me if I want to waste time trying to track down all occurrences of   
   VersionNumber for the time being. But it's high on the todo list.   
      
      Now I'm on the C spree. Jeezz, how complicated they do things. I had Radius   
   up and compiled in no time, but even when I install MinGW fresh and use the   
   mingw Makefile the damn binkd doesn't compile.   
      
      I even had to manually create a number of sub-folders for gcc to even start   
   trying to compile, and then it pukes on the very first compiler directive in   
   the makefile, '-mno-cygwin' that obviously doesn't exist.   
      
      Sigh! No wonder people suspect that C originally was a student prank from   
   the Berkeley University. After all, they also gave us unix and LSD... 8-)
