- The only VMS version I can think of that ever got as high as a .7 was
- V4.7. The units digit changes when there's a LOT of new stuff, and
- there is in V6.0. Is there something that would require using up
- all the tenths digits? (I must admit that I had little choice after
- releasing VAX FORTRAM V5.9...) There never were plans for a VMS
- V5.7, and there was only brief discussion of using V5.6 for what will
- be V6.0.
