Yes, that's true. But as I understand it, only in the source code, and only the files you changed. Nothing forbids you to that the program still calls itself (in the version banners, etc) to call itself GnuPG 1.0.6, and not 1.0.6-mod or whatever. -- Lionel Elie Mamane RFC 1991 (PGP 2.x) 2048 bits Key Fingerprint (KeyID: 20C897E9): 85CF 986F 263E 8CD0 80FD 4B8C F5F9 C17D OpenPGP DH/DSS 4096/1024 Key Fingerprint (KeyID: 3E7B4B73): 9DAD 3131 3ADA F50B D096 002A B1C4 7317 3E7B 4B73
