Remarks

Versions of NetWare are identified by major version number, minor version number, and (if applicable) revision number. The revision number is displayed as a letter (0=a, 1=b, and so on) to the user. For example, if a version number were 2.10a, 2 would be the major version number, 10 would be the minor version number, and 0 would be the revision number.
