Subject:Phrasing question From:John Bell <jbell -at- PARAGREN -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 24 Jun 1997 10:07:01 -0400
I have an on again/off again disagreement with a few marketing folks over
how to specify the operating system requirements for our software.
The issue is which word best describes the range of existing or possible
version numbers: higher, greater, or newer.
Which phrasing do you prefer:
* Sun Solaris, version 2.4 or higher
* Sun Solaris, version 2.4 or greater
* Sun Solaris, version 2.4 or newer
Is there a better word or phrase for this concept?
Thank you!
