Hey Bob,
Well. That can be dangerous, because the numbers are not the things being compared.
In this particular case it's probably safe because of the way the characters are stacked.
But if Smile goes into the double-digits there could be problems:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
set strA to "Smile 3.6.1 (build 710) full edition" set strB to "Smile 3.10.0 (build 768) full edition"
strB > strA --> false
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
