I never heard anyone claim dBaseI was better than dBaseII though[1].

[1] dBase launched at version two because it suggests less buggy.

If I say "I didn't like version 3" that means all of the 3.x versions. If I say "I didn't like version 3.0" then maybe I liked 3.1 better. They're not the same thing.

The less program on *nix has never used the dot system -- my Mac runs less 418. You can check it out for yourself by running `less --version`
