Description L. Peter Deutsch 2001-04-09 15:04:30 UTC 
Originally reported by: lpd@users.sourceforge.net
Previous Ghostscript releases went to considerable
trouble to ensure that release numbers with a zero
fraction part printed as .0 and not .00 in all
contexts. This consistency has been lost. Some of the
announcements of the new release refer to 7.0, some to
7.00. The code itself has become inconsistent: gs -v
and gs --version refer to 7.00, but gs -dNODISPLAY -c
quit refers to 7.0.

The apparent cause of this problem is the definitions
of GS_VERSION_MINOR and GS_VERSION_MINOR0 as 00 in
src/version.mak, rather than as 0. However, that is not
the whole story: when I changed the definition to 0,
the version number printed out as 0.70. So apparently
there were also changes to the code per se.

Not worth fixing.
