    Hi Kent,

    Thanks for that tip off. After lots of digging around in google, I found
    this site:

    http://simon.nitro.dk/freebsd-tips.php

    that mentions how to use script: newvers.sh

    grep -E 'BRANCH|REVISION' /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh

    Cool.

    Cheers,

    paul

    Look at
    /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh
