I'm running 1.277 from Aminet currently, but I notice there is a more recent version on the developer's web page (1.58 Beta).

Shame on you, I would have expected you would have been able to read version numbers.

What is bigger, 58 or 227?

That makes more sense. 1.277 is not bigger than 1.58 in decimal.

Not how it works. First number is the major release number and the second number is the minor release number. See it more as Version 1, build 227.

Dont worry, you're not the first non-programmer to make this mistake, poor Ralph Babel used to get questions about this all the time 4.5 vs 4.15 on his GVP ROM.

I think the version numbering scheme comes from some version control software similar to CVS or something?!
