   Hi mark,   
      
   On 2016-10-24 05:32:10, you wrote to me:

   That's what I meant with "making things complicated". This little change isn't   
   worth the trouble, of creating an updated config file and all the hassle that   
   it involves...   
      
    ml> the config file does have a format version number in it for this type   
    ml> of detection and updating, doesn't it??   
      
   Yes it does.   
      
    ml> ok then... you know why to pack and now you know why to /not/   
    ml> renumber...   
      
   ... If your system/software needs it. ;)   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
