You could either go digest, or read it off Usenet like me
(comp.sys.hp.mpe). This way I'm not bothered with 100 email
interruptions every day, and gives some time for "easy" questions to
get answered before I see them, so I'm not one of the 19 people who
give the same answer to a question. [...]37_2Mar199814:07:[log in to unmask]

I am not sure I would call it a "bug", but it is definitely a
"limitation" of VERSION.PUB.SYS.

There is a global constant declared in the source:

max_som_num = 100;

There is an array bounded by this constant. And there is a 'while'
loop that stops looping when it gets to the 100th SOM.

Together these account for the behavior you see.

What version of the OS are you on? How important is it that this work
correctly? Do you have internet access (eg: access to Jazz)?
