Good question. I believe they freeze at the "release" version (3.5.12 in this case) and don't issue any more in that track. If they were in a beta on the 3.5 track, they would not be issuing ER releases. So, everything after the 3.5 release is going to be in the 100's. At least that's how I understand it. Having used 3.5.100, I recommend you don't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Get 3.5.105. Randy

Thank you. That's a good explanation. However, I don't really understand how one would know inherently that version 3.5.105 was later than 3.5.12 without asking 3Com what order they come in.
I read the page at the URL you suggest, so I presume 3.5.105 would be the 5th "Emergency Release or Service Release" build of the 3.5 software, but how is one to know that this is after 3.5.12 rather than before it?

Good question. The answer is detailed at length at: http://totalservice.commworks.com/Matrixs/2002.cfm
Short answer: the CCC field (AAA.BBB.CCC) uses 0-99 for general releases and beta releases. 100-199 is for post-release Emergency Releases or Service Releases. 200-255 is test or debug code (I haven't seen any of these).
The old versioning (pre-2002) is detailed at http://totalservice.commworks.com/Matrixs/Pre-2002.cfm
The old versioning was much more confusing. Emergency releases counted down (newer is a lower number) in the CCC field, while general releases counted up in that field (higher is newer).
