I have downloaded two maintenance releases with the same name:

pcp11mr.exe
File Version 11.1020.1930.0
Modified July 12, 2010, 3:30:24 PM
Size: 21,0 MB (22,o49,960 bytes)

pcp11mr.exe
File Version 11.2010.2510.0
Modified September 13, 2010, 7:04:42 PM (Download date)
Size: 22.2 MB (23348,144 bytes)

Is the later one better that the earlier one? Is so, doesn't the version number belong in the file name?

Thanks, Kip

All Maintenance Releases will have the same file name. The one dated September 2010 is newer than the one dated July 2010.
